Oaklawn Smarty Jones Stakes $150k Monday Jan.18
Monday, January 18, 2016
Kentucky Derby contenders will try to increase their points in the Smarty Jones $150k stakes over 8f at Oaklawn Park. The race is worth 10-4-2-1. We have yet to see if that one point will ever come into play.
Bob Baffert will try to get favorite Toews On Ice into double digit points after finishing 2nd to stablemate Mor Spirit in the Los Al futurity. The 9-5 morning line choice looks the best going into the race.
Luna De Loco and Gordy Florida look like they could stir up some noise stretching to route for the first time, both at double digit odds.
Black Ops 12-1 is coming off an impressive maiden win over slop at Churchill, following a loss to Whitmore, also in the field in a coupled 15-1 entry.
The ML odds makers like Synchrony at 9-2 following 2 straight wins, including a 7.5f OC75n1x at Churchill. Knights key at 12-1 will also try route after closing for a 6.5f maiden win first time out at CD.
