Clearly this race is on 2/18.....not 2/12 as I (for some unknown reason) put in the title of this thread.
I'm losing my mind.

Riley Tucker is the facebook tip, but I would take Denis of Cork over him coming off the layoff.

Does anyone find it interesting that Jersey Joe Bravo is shipping in to ride the Lukas entry? Has Joe ever been over Oaklawn before?

Pretty wide open affair. 11 Entries quite unlike the public worksouts that pass for graded preps at Santa Anita this year.

I guess there is a shorter stretch run on the mile races at Oaklawn. Has anyone else ever heard that?

The mile races start and end at the 1/16th pole which makes for a shorter closing stretch. Closing horses many times will start their move at the end of the backstretch moving into the far turn.
