Ending the Year At Oaklawn

 On the final Stakes Saturday of the year we look in on a great little stakes race for the girls.

Oaklawn Park Race 9 {Year End Stakes~1 mile~2 year-old~Fillies~Stakes}

A modest field of nine will go to the gate in this speed laden affair.

Past Performances used: Equibase.

This is a fine field of fillies, each of them having a chance to make it to the winners circle. There is plenty of speed to create a hot pace. None of these gals have raced over the Oaklawn oval. The speed figures are very close making this one super competitive. It should be one of the most exciting races to close out 2022.

#1 Defining Purpose (Cabrera / McPeek) should go off as the deserved favorite. She holds the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and two superb workouts. This will be her first start at the mile distance. This daughter of Cross Traffic, comes in from Churchill Downs with one win from three starts. She could be forwardly placed.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#9 Fabulous Candy (Hiraldo / Moysey) will challenge with the highest last out speed number at a slightly longer route and one sound workout. She comes in from Delaware Park and should be tracking the pace. A daughter of Twirling Candy, she is 75% in the money from four career starts.

$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#4 Midnight Heiress (A Rodriguez / Hollendorfer) will contend with the fourth highest last out speed number and three strong workouts. She should be part of the pace scenario. This gal is another coming in from Delaware Park. A daughter of Midnight Storm, she is 100% in the money from six career starts.

$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#6 Take Charge Briana (Torres / Lukas) should close well into a hot pace. This daughter of Curlin, is 33% in the money from six career starts.

#7 Bluelightspecial (Arrieta / Contreras) should track the pace closely. A daughter of Super Special, she is 100% in the money from six career starts.

#8 Need Some Money (G. Saez / A. Shorter) will track the pace. A daughter of Street Sense, she holds a 40% win rate from five career starts.
