2024 Oaklawn Park Stakes Schedule

Even though Oaklawn Park is limited to Dirt Stakes races there are still plenty of good graded stakes races throughout the meet.  Stakes races are the pinnacle of competition in the sport of horse racing and attract some of the best horses in their class level.  Along with a field of the best horses also comes some of the best wagering opportunities.

Why Oaklawn Park Stakes Races Are Often Times The Best Races To Play

In 2015,  Oaklawn Park helped launch the near-perfect season of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, who won both the Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby en route to becoming the first horse in 37 years to win in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.  Not only are Stakes races often the best betting races to play but they can also be key prep races for the upcoming Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup races. Graded Stakes races also typically offer a field of horses that have been kept in form through multiple workouts and prep races giving a handicapper more information about a horses ability and a better understanding of their chance in the race.

If you don't have the time to watch all the prep races and pour over the past performances, Today's Racing Digest's expert handicappers give you a complete race analysis along with their thoughts on each horses chances in each race on the card.

Beware of False Claims

Unlike other horse racing tip sheets that obscure the truth by showing you their payout results based on any horse listed can fill in win-place-show in any order rather then the order thy told you bet. We only show you payouts based on the order we present our picks.

All of our payouts are based on a $2 bet and in the event a horse is scratched the horse is removed from the picks and the 2nd horse listed becomes the top choice and the 3rd horse listed the 2nd choice and so on.
