Betting Tips Oaklawn Report #7 February 24, 2014 Betting Tips Oaklawn Report #7 February 24, 2014 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Aireofdistinction Takes the Spring Fever Three Stars of the Week – 1st Star: Aireofdistinction (KY) – Even though Oaklawn only had one stakes race this week, Aireofdistinction made it count! Race caller Frank Mirahmadi pretty much gave up on her at the top of the stretch, but out of nowhere Aireofdistinction re-rallied and took the Spring Fever by a nose over Chortle in a photo finish. The win gives Aireofdistinction four victories in a row, and could propel her into a graded stakes try next time out. – 2nd Star: Donoharm (KY) – Last year’s Fifth Season and Essex winner was back in the winners circle Sunday, winning an allowance race by a length and a half over Flashy Sunrise. It’s a win that is long over due as his form hasn’t been great since those two big wins last year. Perhaps he’s back on track now, and could possibly be pointing towards a run in the Razorback or Oaklawn Handicap next. – 3rd Star: Unstoppable Colby (KY) – The Lukas/Zayat team has been hot this of late at Oaklawn, and the maiden special weight win by Unstoppable Colby might be the most significant. Thursday’s mile and one-sixteenth victory came in wire to wire fashion as he turned back two hard closing rivals to win by a little less than a length. We know he’ll be in a stakes next time out, it’s just a matter of which one they choose. We’ll see if his second attempt to earn derby points works out better than his first. Flop of the Week – Broken Blues (KY) – It’s probably a little unfair that she lands in this spot, but there really wasn’t any other horse to put here this week. Broken Blues was a disappointing favorite in a Thursday allowance race, but may have simply been a little outclassed. We aren’t going to give her too hard of a time for that performance.
