Race 3
#1 Best You Ever Seen
Toss out the
loss last time at a route distance at Hawthorne, because this horse’s other
recent races were sprints and they were much better performances that would
stack up very favorably against today’s competition. Goes out for trainer Karl
Broberg, who does well with recent claims like this runner, and the blazing
bullt workout here at Oaklawn last week indicates this horse is back in good
fitness and ready to be successful down at this soft class level.
Race 5
#1 First
Empress
Plus play exacta box w/ #4 Forevernoa
#1 First Empress got claimed out
of her last race at Churchill Downs and now shows up at Oaklawn for defending
leading trainer Diodoro, who won with these types all last season with
regularity. Didn’t handle the sloppy track and the one-turn mile last time, but
can rebound here today back in a two-turn race similar to the one she won off
by 6 lengths two races ago at Santa Anita. Ready to roll.
Play in
exacta box with #4 Forevernoa, who is fresh and ready for a big return to the
races today for a low-profile trainer who excels with fresh horses like this
one with a big 38% win percentage with horses returning with these kinds of
layoffs for a huge positive ROI. Ran a pair of solid races at Keeneland last
fall, including a runaway wire-to-wire win at 7F. Fits well at this nw3l
claiming level and has the speed to lead and never look back.
