We look in on another Kentucky Derby prep race on this Superfecta Sunday.
Oaklawn Park Race 11 {Rebel Stakes~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
A field of nine will go to the gate in this featured race on an excellent card.
Past Performances used: Equibase.
A talented field of Triple-crown nominees appear to be well prepped for this contest. There is enough speed to produce a steady pace. Speed numbers are very close. Three will run over the Oaklawn track for the first time and one will stretch out to the distance. It should be a fantastic race on an exciting day of racing.
#2 Litmus Test (Prat / Baffert) comes in with the second highest last out speed number and three speedy workouts. It will be his first try over the Oaklawn track. He should track the pace closely. A son of Nyquist, he holds a 60% in the money record from five starts.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $5 SHOW.
#4 Blackout Time (B. Hernandez / McPeek) is the deserved favorite with the fourth highest last out speed number and three dynamite workouts. He will try the Oaklawn track for the first time. This guy should be part of the speed scenario. He loves the dirt and distance. A son of Not This Time, he is 100% in the money from three starts.
#7 Silent Tactic (C. Torres / M. Casse) comes in with the highest last out speed number and one quick workout. This guy loves the dirt, distance, and track. Look for him to be part of the tracker pack. A son of Tacitus, he is 100% in the money from four starts.
#10 Soldier N Diplomat (J. Ortiz / S. Asmussen) holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number and two solid peaking workouts. He is another lover of the dirt, distance, and track. This lad has the tactical speed to adjust to the pace. A son of Army Mule, he is 80% in the money from five starts.
Other Wagering Interests
#6 Strategic Risk (Castellano / M. Casse) should track the pace closely. He comes to the race with a decent last out speed number and one hearty workout. He has won two out of four at this very distance. A son of Noble Bird, he is 57% in the money from seven starts.
#3 Class President (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will be stretching out to the distance. He will be making his third career start after achieving progressively improving speed figs. This colt should be right on the pace. A son of Uncle Mo, he is 100% in the money from two starts.
