Oaklawn Park Race 8 {6 furlongs~4 year old Up~Optional Claiming}
A superb group of nine will go to the gate in this afternoon feature.  There is a ton of speed in this one which should make for a super speedy race.  Most in here have equally comparable speed numbers at the distance.  A fabulous furlong contest will unfold on this Friday.

#4 Jake Mo (Berry / Calhoun) may take another step up with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four hearty workouts.  This lad may benefit from a furious pace with his tracking and closing running style.  He will be firing fresh from a brief layoff.
