There are less than 60 days to the Derby. There is a major prep every weekend somewhere in America that they can get points for the Derby since this year they are on the point system and not money won. Churchill has assigned the point value of each race. You should be starting to narrow it down to your final ten picks by now.

February was good with the stable winning 3 races total. SLUICEWAY (owners Margaux Farm, Joe Beyel, Matthew Zirwas) and BOOBY PRIZE won at Oaklawn Park while RIGAMARO won at Penn National. We exceeded $100,000 in total earnings in 2013, hopefully on the way to $2 million (wishful thinking).

We have started the month of March with a bang winning 2 races in the first three days. BLUEGRASS D’LITE won for owners Flying H Stables (Tracy & Kent Hersman) and homebred IMAGINARY ISLAND broke his maiden in New York for owner Ralph Piercy.

Oaklawn Park is half way through their meet, but there is still plenty of time to get in it. The purses are good with the bottom purse being $15,500 for $5000 claimers. It is also a great place to enjoy the races. Come on down!
