Race#2

#2Young Hendrick-opened up on the lead in his first start here last out and fought hard to miss by only a length while being claimed. New trainer is hitting at a big 27% with his claims in their first start and is hitting with rider Cohen at 25%. The 2-1 favorite is a 3 year old while our top pick is 5 and you know on stance on that!

Oaklawn Picks 1-7-10-6

#1 Lewys Vaporizer-old class horse has a 16-4-4 record from his 43 starts with over 500k in earnings. He will bust right to the lead and never look back.

Race 4

Post: 3:35 PM ET Dirt

1 1/16 Miles | Fillies and Mares | 3 Year Olds And Up | MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT | Purse: $60,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta 50 Cent Pick 3 (Races 4-5-6)

Race 5
Post: 4:06 PM ET Dirt

1 1/16 Miles | Open | 4 Year Olds And Up | CLAIMING: $16,000 | Purse: $25,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta 50 Cent Pick 3 (Races 5-6-7) / 50 Cent Pick 5 (Races 5-9)

Oaklawn Picks 9-2-4-3

#9 Matrooh-another old class runner this has a 11-3-8 record from his 42 starts with 686k in earnings. He likes this track with a 4-1-2 record from 11 starts and despite losing a step or two at the ripe old age of 10, he can still beat these.

Race 6
Post: 4:36 PM ET Dirt
6 Furlongs | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up | CLAIMING: $35,000 | Purse: $28,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta 50 Cent Pick 3 (Races 6-7-8) / 50 Cent Pick 4 (Races 6-7-8-9)
Oaklawn Picks 1-2-10-6

#1 Aggressivity-while most of the others have not won a race in a year, our top pick has won two of his last three. This is a very tough race but our top pick is in top form and looks like the one to beat.
end race

Race 7

Post: 5:06 PM ET Dirt
6 Furlongs | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up | CLAIMING: $35,000 | Purse: $27,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta 50 Cent Pick 3 (Races 7-8-9)
Oaklawn Picks 2-8-1-4

#2 Knight Commander– lets go for a long shot. Our top pick came off a 8 month layoff and missed by only 4 against tougher wide open starter allowance runners. He drops down to 40k non winners of two, removes the blinkers and could surprise at a big price.
end race

Race 8

Post: 5:38 PM ET Dirt
1 Mile | Fillies and Mares | 4 Year Olds And Up | ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING: $75,000 | Purse: $62,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta

Oaklawn Picks 4-1-8-7

#4 Letruska– really good race on paper. Our top pick won her first 6 races in a row while racing in Mexico. She then shipped to Gulfstream and went wire to wire going a mile and a quarter. Her win streak came to an end when she tried the turf for the first time and could not handle it. She then switched back to the dirt and drew off to in last out in her first start over this track. She cuts back to a mile and could prove tough to catch at a decent price.
end race

Race 9

Post: 6:09 PM ET Dirt
6 Furlongs | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up | ALLOWANCE | Purse: $61,000 Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta

Oaklawn Picks 4-13-11-12

#4 Union Ride-had a rough trip last out and still missed by only 4 to a repeat winner against similar while coming off a 4 month layoff. Top trainer is winning at 28% with his runners in their second start back and has the one to beat.

Race 1

1:00p
5Firehorn
Has win at this track and distance, which should help on drop. Fast seems preferred as well

1Cadron Flats
Bejarano gets aboard fresh gelding who should benefit from stretch to 7 furlongs

2Swither's Shortcut

Selections: 5-1-2

Race 2

1:30p
7Thoughtfully
The top two choices both look well meant here, so lean toward the hotter barn and the bigger purchase price ($950k)

2American Indy
Stout pedigree here. Mixed signals from dam just 2 winners from 5 starters but both winners at 2.

5Golden Glass


Selections: 7-2-5

Race 3

2:00p
4Lemon Chill
Dropping off the layoff is a concern, but this horse is just faster than these

7She's Hot Today
Questionable dirt form but price is right given speediness of best races

6Addison


Selections: 4-7-6

Race 4

2:36p
7White Wolf
Holthus looking to cut bait here. Not type of horse I’d like as chalk but co third choice is fine

9Archival
Lots of chances, but this is just his 2nd at this level and it’s off the layoff while stretching a bit.

5Brother Martin


Selections: 7-9-5

Race 5

3:04p
2P R Radio Star
Up in class off the barn change. Like Tyler getting aboard for not a big-name trainer

5Touching Rainbows
Needs a turn around off the drop. Capable of being closer

8Pat Daddy


Selections: 2-5-8

Race 6

3:36p
7Fancy Liquor
Nothing to knock from first two starts and catches compact field with not a lot of speed

2Pleasecallmeback
First Lasix for first start with barn. Has speed further back in PPs to be dangerous

3Blanket of Roses


Selections: 7-2-3

Race 7

4:08p
2Golden Notion
Right back against winners, & Cox has a 26% strike rate and positive ROI doing that.

8Grove Daddy
Bet Mitch Get Rich? Needs plenty of pace to chase but at 30-to-1 can’t ignore races good enough against these

7Hersh


Selections: 2-8-7

Race 8

4:40p
4Elusive Molly
Speedster ships north and makes 2nd start for solid barn

1Aurelia Garland
Trainer sheds blinks for two-turn debut. Expect to be more forwardly place stretching out 2nd off layoff

7Bourbina


Selections: 4-1-7

Race 9

5:12p
4Tizahra
Tough to look past this one with last 3 turf races at or above par for level

5Rearrange
Bejarano should help from too wide of a trip after making big move when wide last out

3Take Charge Patti


Selections: 4-5-3
