Wasn't that Unbridled, at CD?

About OP. Now that all of California except the bullrings are fake turf, OP probably is the best track west of Saratoga. At least in the USA that is.

I like betting Oaklawn. I enjoyed the one time I went to Oaklawn.

I have a friend that goes every year
last year he brought an Arkansas bred.

I am in Houston....the 1st time i went to Oaklawn was the early 80s....i love the area.. I usually stay in Royal Ark at Lake quatichita ? It is hard to beat the area in just sheer beauty..the track is alot of fun also....I have been about 10 times over the years, just a well kept secret in the south.

I went to Oaklawn the year that Afleet Alex was there. I really loved the track and it's probably my third favorite after Saratoga & Belmont.

You're right, the people there are very friendly and very enthusiastic. I always tell people they should make it part of their racing vacation schedule.
