Today's Feature race of the day is @ Oaklawn race 8 the Temperence Hill S.
Interesting race going the not so common distance of 1 1/2 miles on the Oaklawn Dirt(No Turf Course at Oaklawn)
At first look it may not appear to have much pace BUT as we know when horses stretch out they show more speed. This field is loaded with stretch out horses trying the longer distance and with aggressive California Jocks like Garcia #6 and Talamo #7 on close up type contenders plus some longer prices like the 2, 4 ,9 this race could fall apart late.
The proven distance & class horse and my top pick is #10 Campaign who shipped in for the Razorback against much tougher and finished a nice closing 5th to a very very nice winner going wire to wire with plenty left after getting an easy lead. Top trainer Sadler most likely had this race pegged and look for him to drop back and start motoring home around the far turn. Now there are a few other deep closers so hopefully Bejarano gets a clean trip and doesn't have momentum stopped and have to start back up as these stayer types really dont have that big turn of foot. Good luck to all!
