An Easy 1-2 Finish For Mb Stables In The SAR Oaks
It was a wet one in Upstate New York today, and virtual SAR was not spared from the rain. The result of this precipitation left us with a yielding turf course and two horses, Copper Jewels and Bombing For Peace, scratching out. That meant that our pick to win the race would not be taking part.

On Friday, one of the first such races is the fifth running of the SAR Oaks, a long turf event for three year old fillies.
