Love the thoroughbreds at Keeneland and Saratoga, but Oaklawn is home and proud of it. Oklahoma State athletics and Atlanta Braves as well.

Winner Of The Day 🟢⚫️

Winner: LOVELY WORDS
Track: @OaklawnRacing
Race: 5 (03/22/2026)
Jockey: Danilo Grisales Rave
Owner: Rags Racing Stable LLC

[Shortleaf Stable, Inc. @ShortleafStable]

Typically 3 yo’s don’t run against older horses till fall. However, most OP races for Maiden AR Breds are 3&up. This pits some young horses while still 2 yo’s running against 4,5,6 yo’s. Most can’t compete while so young. Not good for Arky program.
