So Oaklawn is running a 100k stakes for older fillies the day before the Apple Blossom?

Makes sense.

And a 75k stake the day before the OP Handicap. Also a 100k stake the day before the Ark Derby, and a 100k stake two days after the Fantasy.

This for a track that was out-handled by Golden Gate on Saturday...

Other than the Derby preps, it really is an insignificant meet.

I agree, and i know there's a lot of diehard Oaklawn natives that love to beat their chest about the field sizes and purse increases, which is all well and good, and I personally don't have anything negative to say about their track, as I know the locals love it.

But the reason the field sizes for the Southwest and Rebel was so large, was because there wasn't a standout 3-year old from that region, nor has their been for quite some time, and Baffert sweeping those races with his California shippers strengthens this argument.
