Horse Racing Weekend Begins in Hot Springs

It's Arkansas Derby week.  To start off our horse racing weekend we look at a speedy stakes race down in old Hot Springs.

Oaklawn Park Race 8 {Count Fleet Sprint Handicap~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A speed laden group of eight will hit the Arkansas dirt in this fabulous stakes race. It could be a smoking hot pace in this one, favoring those that can sit right off it. Half of the field holds some blistering three digit speed figs. it should be a quick race, but delightful nonetheless.

#6 Ivan Fallunovalot (Borel / Howard) could be part of the speed team on the front end, yet with a good rail ride by terrific jockey, Calvin Borel, he could be the one to hold on. He has the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two superb peaking workouts.
