14 year old horse claimed

[mass hole]

At Monticello yesterday "Ideal candidate"up in class to 5k was claimed by Hunter Oakes?.......with maybe 9 more starts and horse facing retirment makes no sense........sad game

His father the indicted one gave him some cash said go have fun.

If my dad gave me $5000 and said go have some fun, purchasing a 14 year old horse wouldn't have even been on my top 10 million list.

Not a good move IMO but as good as the slot money is right know he can get his money back in a few starts.

Lol, I agree...
Just curious does anyone know if Chris Oakes and Hunter are offspring of George Porky Oakes who was a good horseman , real nice guy Monticello regular back in the day ?

Well, at least he'll go out on a "high" note - pun intended...

I say he makes money on the investment. We will see ?

[Locked in with pace]

The horse raced back in the same class. $5000 claimer.  NO CHECK!!!!!

even working the best strategies for selection to try to get a possibility of success ... WHY?  why, the man asks, would anyone reduce their prospects for coming out on the profit side by adding the sands of time to the equation?

There are a couple reliable old-timers on the Ohio circuit - BUt, same thing, they are down to 2 mos. of racing - just too much of a gamble.

No relation to Porky

13 and 14-Year-olds are claimed in Ohio all the time. Most then go to win 5 or 6 in a row for new connections

He won today (Wed. 10/28/20) at Monti.  I am still sticking to my earlier post that it was a good claim by Oakes and he will at least get his money back by the end of the year.
