Stakes Saturday at Oaklawn Park

Some great racing down in Hot Springs, Arkansas is on tap for our Stakes Saturday.

Oaklawn Park Race 10 {Apple Blossom Handicap~G1~1 1/16 mile~4 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Graded Stakes}

A fantastic field of fourteen will enter the gate in this annual high level stakes race. There is enough pace to maintain an honest pace. Speed numbers are very close for this group of stellar ladies. Four of these ladies are millionaires. This could be one of the best races during the month of April. 

#11 Serengeti Empress (Talamo / Amoss) is the one to beat with her speed on the front end. She holds the highest last out speed number and three robust workouts. This gal also holds the highest speed number at the distance. This millionaire daughter of Alternation, is 71% in the money from fourteen career starts.
$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#1 Ollie's Candy (Rosario / Sadler) will challenge with three very good last out speed numbers and three strong workouts. She holds the fourth highest speed number at the distance all the while hitting the board all three times she has run it. A daughter of Candy Ride [ARG], she should be tracking the pace closely ready to spring into the stretch.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#13 Lady Apple (Santana / Asmussen) has a strong chance to get her picture taken with the second highest (tie) speed number at the distance and three hearty peaking workouts. She loves the distance and the Oaklawn track. A millionaire daughter of Curlin, she is 69% in the money from thirteen starts. She should track the pace closely.
$2 PLACE.

#6 Street Band (Doyle / L. Jones) should contend with a quality last out speed number and two superb workouts. This gal holds the second highest speed number at the distance. She take up a nice tracking position. A millionaire daughter of Istan, she is 60% in the money from fifteen career starts.

#3 Awe Emma (Lanerie / D. Stewart) could outrun her odds with a decent last out speed number and one solid workout. She loves the Oaklawn track having secured all four of her career wins over it. A daughter of War Front, she has the tactical speed to make her way through any pace that develops.
