"Oaklawn set for 'greatest stakes race' announcement"

[tector]

If it is the Apple Blossom, I see almost no chance of RA making that race. Personally I'd give her one "easy" race before facing Z anyway. It will have been a long layoff.

This reminds me of the BIG TVG announcement, which amounted to zip. In this game you have to get used to a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I was wondering what promo Mr. Cella might come up for Oaklawn as the Fairgrounds changing their stakes schedule this year seemingly could have an impact on who ships in to Hot Springs for prep races. Mr. Cella has made some pretty smart business decisions in the past. Oaklawn's success in these tough times is a testament to that.
