The “Love at First Bet” promotion this February at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet offers a $10 bonus when you bet $100 or more at select tracks each Tuesday and Thursday. Oaklawn will be the track spotlighted for this Thursday. Hope you caught both winners offered here earlier in the week at Turf Paradise. Here’s how I’ll approach Oaklawn with the help of the Betmix Angler database.
Oaklawn: Race 8
#1 Spitfire (8-1 morning line odds) never got uncorked in the Martha Washington and a slow pace did her no favors. Trainer Kenny McPeek’s barn has hit 25% winners and a $1.28 ROI for every $1 bet over the past month at Oaklawn. He reaches to get a rare pairing with Francisco Arrieta, battling at the top of the meet standings, which feels significant. The other McPeek, Authentic Cat, and favorite Sticker Shock, for a colder-than-usual Brad Cox barn, will take plenty of money to hold our price. Win-place #1. Daily Double 1-2 to next play.
Oaklawn: Race 9
#2 Ghost Money (8-1 morning line odds) forces you to forget the Dec. 12 debut in order to be interested, but a lot has changed since then. Trainer Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez put in a claim and has been off-the-charts successful with new acquisitions ... and over the past month at OP is on fire. Add in top pilot Ramon Vazquez, whose 6-furlong sprint prowess at this meet is unrivaled: 21% wins, $1.30 ROI for every $1 bet. Win-place #2.
