Race 8
#5 Honor Ride
Plus
play exacta box w/#8 Awe Emma
#5 Honor Ride came to the big leagues from at Churchill
Downs from Thistledown last fall, and responded with two big efforts and was
never better, winning once and then running a clear second with a strong speed
figure behind a repeat next-out winner. Workouts indicate continued good
fitness, and she lands in a winnable spot here at Oaklawn.
Play in exacta box with #8 Awe Emma, who may make a chalky
exacta combo along with the top selection, but is clearly the other horse in
this race with a solid chance to win or at least run second. Returned from a
long layoff last time to crush maidens here in her Oaklawn debut with a good
speed figure. Will be tough to beat if able to repeat that last effort.
Race 9
#4 Joy in the Journey
Offers good value at 8-1 odds
on the morning line as the horse to beat in this first level allowance race
after winning at first asking last time against maiden special weights. Still
eligible for second-out improvement, and doesn’t really need to improve much to
beat this solid but unspectacular crew.
