Here are some of the highlights from this issue…

The first of five restricted stakes during Oaklawn’s 2021 live meet was the Downthedustyroad Breeders’ S. THE MARY ROSE outrun early while outside, five wide exiting the bend, closed with good resolve to win. MATAPAN in mid pack early, put a head in front past furlong marker, could not contain winner, settled for place. MISS ANTIOCH forwardly placed off the inside, showed the way into the lane, outkicked by top two.
