Oaklawn Picks Papa Dude’s Free Oaklawn Park Picks for Sunday 3/28/21 March 27, 2021 Coady Photography Oaklawn Picks Papa Dude’s Free Oaklawn Park Picks for Sunday 3/28/21 March 27, 2021 By: Mike Halterman email Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article We’re back again at Oaklawn with some more spot plays on what should be a good day for racing in Hot Springs. This is a pretty tough card overall and most of the races are evenly matched. Let’s see if we can get lucky and hit some winners today!Here are my best bets for Sunday: Race 3: Claiming I like the #9 Ike Likes trained by Chris Hartman who is starting to win after a very slow start for him. She is coming off a win in her last start as she graduated breaking her maiden for a $10,000 tag. She is entered again for the same money and if she returns to the previous race she has a good chance.The Bet: $10 to Win on #9Race 8: Starter Allowance Let’s look at the #1 Canadian Game sent out by William Martin in this $12,500 Starter Allowance. He won 7 out of 13 races last year spread out over 5 tracks showing his versatility. His morning line odds are 8/1 and at that price we have to consider him. He’s coming off a layoff with his last race way back in October so that is a concern but I can’t get away from the odds. I also like the #3 Honoring Major from the Roberto Diodoro barn. He was a winner his last time out at Santa Anita for a $12,500 claim and this barn is very good.The Bet: $10 to Win on the #1 and a $5 exacta box on the 1,3Race 9: Allowance I focused on the # 2 Kadri trained by Larry Jones. This horse broke his maiden impressively in September of 2020 at Churchill and then flattened out for the next 3 or 4 races. Since coming to Oaklawn he has turned out a 3rd and an impressive 2nd in his two outings over the local track. I really like his steady improvement and I hope he is sitting on a big one.The Bet: $20 to Win on #2Race 10: Maiden Special WeightBrad Cox sends out the #6 Marion Francis in this Maiden Special Weight to wrap up the Sunday card. She’s been knocking on the door in all 3 of her races and just hasn’t quite got the job done. It’s her turn today.The Bet: $10 to Win on #6Papa Dude’s Sports Play of the DaySince March Madness is continuing with 4 more games today in the Sweet Sixteen and coaching basketball is what I made a living at for many years, let’s pick a couple of games for today.I’m writing this on Saturday and the odds in the Oregon-USC game are -2 for USC. This is an easy one for me because I would have taken Oregon to win anyhow and the spread is only 2 so it is a no-brainer. I love Dana Altman, the coach of the Ducks, and I think their tournament experience will be the differenceThe Play: Oregon +2And, while we are at it, let’s focus on one more. Michigan is a 2.5 point favorite over Florida State. The Seminoles are a football school and Michigan can be considered both. I like Michigan to win by more than the point spread.The Play: Michigan -2.5Hope we hit some winners today and have some fun along with it!
