No time like Friday the 13th to start a race meet!
Thought we could start a new thread for OP kind of like W2W does with the NYRA circuit. Might catch on or could die on the vine due to lack of interest, we'll see? No analysis unless something we have good info on.

3rd-- 4, 1/4/6
5th-- 7, 2/7/8

7th--- #5 LuLu Wong, 2-1, and key over 1/3/4,

8th---#1 Twice The Appeal, 3-1, ran in Kentucky Derby and got hurt, been off since but working well at Hollywood and came south and loved the feel of real dirt under his hoofs. Class edge here but tough going first out after long layoff, but Jeff Bonde would not place him in here unless he thought he was ready to fire.

9th---8, 3/5/8

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Laurel 8th, #2 Glackety finally drops in for a tag and should be rolling late in this one mile event. Might be a short price , due in part to play on my part. Got to get my money back on this one somehow!

John---adding R4----#3 'Range Rules' Of Chris Richard...15-1 Ml...with 8,2,6....

See Ya At The Window....

I fell left out in this thread and will add the following below.

Race 5 - Numismatist - 15-1 on the ml as well and this one is going to score at the Oaklawn meet, if not today then next out book it.

What I Hear Is 'lulu Wong' Should Be Best Bet Of The Day....race 7..#5

Results for Friday not bad. One $49 ex in the 9th, and a puny $$44 tri in the 7th when Lulu Wong ran off to be a much the best winner, but she was totally hammered at the windows and went off around 3/5. In the feature, Twice the Appeal went off around 7/2, made a wide move turning for home and went around 7 wide, then ran somewhat eratic down the stretch, and that cost him the win as he came up a mere whisker short, still paid $5.00 / $3.60, which was a surprise but still a disappointing loss.

Saturday

today's card is another yo-yo with nickel claimers followed up with with good $40k alw msw mixed into the fray. As usual for early OP racing, these cheap clm races are damned near impossible to figure out.

There are two $40k msw 3yo races today going 1 1/16, and it looks like the racing secretary made sure that the best two horses are not going up against each other .

Race 2
#2 NAJJAAR, 8/5
Big time Shadwell homebred has been working well and should dominate late in the going. Danny Peitz trained gets NY jock Channing Hill aboard and if he runs like he has been working in the mornings, should win for fun.
Key #2 over 1/4/6

Race 5
#6 CHALYBEATE SPRINGS, 6/5
Impressive in the mornings and Wayne Lucas has big plans for this one. That being the case, Lucas may not tell Jock Thompson to ask for it all, and if he gets bested it is likely to be by #5 SPEED SCORE, 7/2, who is going to be backed by alot of backside play.

Ex Bx 5---6

Race 8
Dixie Bells Stakes, #50k 3yo fillies 6 f

#4 NOW I KNOW, will go off at 2/5 and if you want to see a truly super sprinter watch her effort today! She is 5 for 5 so far in her career and each race has gotten better for this little Okie bred speedster.
No value here, so I am playing a straight tri using #4 with #2 with #3. No need to go any deeper cause it won't pay much.

Race1----1....brett Likes His Picture Taken Here...not Much Here...like John Said ...oaklawn Mixes It Up...some Cheap And Some Good...like Yesterday...alot Of New Jocks...some Trying To Make Their Mark...hard To Sort...

Race 3---10...assmans...got Into Alot Of Trouble As Fav. Last Out At Fg...should Like The Footing Here....deep/cuppy

R6---2...midwest Owners....on To Another Owners Title...


R8---best Bet...von Hemel's...'now I Know'....get A Win Ticket To Show The Ms/mrs...you Got A Winner....

Results

All the horses who were supposed to win-------DID!
As ELO said " Gonna be a Showdown" somewhere down the road between Najjaar and Chalybeate Springs.

Now I Know looks like she will be a player in the Fantasy later this spring. I don't think she wants anything more than a mile at best, but she can sure get over the surface fast going 6f.

sorry I could not get anything to run behind our winners for exotic plays. If I had put out a Pick 4 I would be a hero. Mine was light on the front with a single on NOW I KNOW, so I went deep in the finale and got a price with former substance abuse rider Greta Kuntsweiller. Next time I pull a $6,600.00 pick 4 out of my ass I will be sure to share!

GOOD CARD Tomorrow and Monday, stay tuned!

Forgot to thank HUSKER for the tout on the Richard/Moss play in race 7.Keep that info coming!!!!
Made my pick 4 possible! Owe you BIG TIME!!!!

KICK MYSELF FOR NOT PUTTING IT OUT ON THE SITE....I WAS KIND OF DISENCHANTED WITH SOME EARLIER 'PLAYERS' HERE...WE AREN'T ALL WINNERS BUT JOHN ,FB,AND KING HAVE BEEN A GREAT NUCLEUS OF WINNERS TO US....WE ALL HAVE ADDED OUR 2 CENTS WORTH...AND BEEN QUITE EFFICIENT.......

YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE SAID ABOUT CHRIS RICHARD....HE WILL HAVE A GOOD MEET HERE AT OAKLAWN....HE TOLD ME HE HAS ALLREADY 79 HEAD GOING TO PRAIRIE MEADOWS AFTER OAKLAWN....A GOOD FOLLOWING....

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE DONE..SO FAR......GOOD TEAM WORK GENTLEMEN....

SUNDAY

Real tough card today, trying to stay away from cheap clm races, but two of them in pick 4.

Race 5, 3yo f 6f msw $40k
#2 looks like a good one, but short price, #9 is a firster, Zapper Belle, 6-1, who has turned heads in the A.M., and the #6 looks like she can close well in a race full of speed. Ex Bx 2/6/9.

The following is a pick 4 ticket, but you can also use as a guide for wps and Ex Bx wagers:

6th---11/2/5
7th---4/1/11
8th---3( add #2 if budget allows)
9th---5/3/10

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

If Zapper Belle is half as good as her mom was, she'll be a handful. I've been searching all over for info on this filly; what have you heard???

John---more Jocks In Here...see Razo Is Here Now...
These Are My Adds...watchout For The Cella Horses...track Owner In Race 7 & 8...especially 'uncle Brent'...who Likes This Track...in Race 8

R2---9
R3----7
R5---like The 9 Alot With Yours..r7---add The 5 Of Cella's
R8---i'm Using Your 3 But My Hvy Bet Is Cella's 'uncle Brent'...#5

Trying To Hear From Richard Camp....

You Know My Big Bet For The Day--fairgrounds Race9---#10..'beloved'...as Fb Says...stay At The Window...

Husker, figured you would be in Baltimore for the game! If Ray Lewis gets hurt the Texans have a chance. Don't count on him coming up short on a day like this. Regardless of the outcome, the Texans have had a very good season, especially considering the injuries!!! Good Luck!

Me and MikeNyce have given Uncle Brent more chances than I care to remember. I still think he is better suited for the turf. I'm surprised you are not pointing out the Assman runner, who I think is a single. What does Assman think?

Tried Assman This Am.....believe Is At Fg....i'm In Baltimore With The Kids...doing All This On The Smart Phone.....

Remember No Turf At Oaklawn...cella Picked 'uncle Brent' Up Here Last Year...
And Will Be Buying Some More Here...

He Was Out For The 'tapizar' Race I Gave You Yesterday.......at Santa....

Still Trying To Hear From The Richard Camp....frazee Also....

How good was TAPIZAR?
Beloveda is sct at FG.
At OP, big sct in the 7th of #11, so add your #5
and in the feature 8th, add Cella's # 5,
cause another big sct in the 9th of #3, I'm told Kenny Smith didn't want to lose him in a clm.

Richard Don't Like The Inside...horse Ok....but The Inside Is Really Deep He Says.....
Thanks On Belovda.....would Of Won Easily...its Halftime...13/17....down By 4....too Many Mistakes Against This Team....having A 'kraut Dog For Lunch....watchout....

No need to recap Sunday's plays, they sucked! Our firster, Zapper Belle, looked lost going down the backstretch and was never involved. She should show improvement next out, but it will have to be a ton of improvement!

Monday

Race 6
two firsters with good works and have a chance at a price. 4 horse tri box 2-4-8-11

Race 7
#4 PEE H DEE, 8/5
Short price but best bet of the day. Husker knows the scoop on this one for his Houston connections. Leading jock Thompson takes the call for Chris Richard and Mattress Mack! Win wager and key with the 3 & 5 for exotics.

Race 8 SMARTY JONES STAKES
3 yo 1 mile $100k purse

This is going to be one hell of a good race! Everyone I know, and mee too, want to see Reddog's fillie win this race. #11 ON FIRE BABY, 7/2, is very good and Reddog is one of everybody's favorite trainers, no doubt because he is one of the few honest ones. But I have to be realistic, and reality points me to;

#6 OPTIMIZER, 5/2
This is one serious racehorse and a Kentucky Derby appearance is well within his scope. Unbelievable works leading up to this event, and his cruising speed is as good as any in the country right now. Should benefit from a quick pace and hit his best stride going into the final turn and pull away in the lane. Wayne Lucas has big plans for this one and those plans begin today.

#2 JUNEBUGRED, 5-1
Won his last at Aqueduct in a better than looks race. Hobby takes over for David Fawkes as this son of Corinthian comes south for the triple crown trail for Arkansas Racing Commissioner Alex Lieblong. Jersey Joe Bravo comes south for the mount and has Derby aspirations for this rapidly improving young colt.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I love Junebugred alot today, with Bravo coming up north and the post this one will be right there at the wire. I'm also hearing the Cox has dropped Henry's Time in for a win today in Race 4. Looks ugly on paper but will cross the finish line first today.

Great stuff on the oaklawn meet, guys. Thanks for sharing it. It is appreciated!!
