As the calendar turns to August, an entertaining slate of stakes racing are sure to entertain us all month. 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. Unfortunately, this is a race that has seen a reduction in its purse, and it’s more than just a little bit as the former $700.000 amount is no longer.

At 73/1, Mo Temptation Splashes Away to The MTH Oaks Win
It was not a nice day out at many tracks across the northeast, and MTH was right in the thick of the bad weather on this day. Soaking rains left the track sloppy, but that would certainly not dampen the spirits of anyone who bet on the winner, Mo Temptation, as the D J C Racing Stables filly lit up the tote board at odds of 73/1.
The MTH Oaks Sends Eight to the Gate
The highlight of the day at MTH on Saturday will be the 18th running of the MTH Oaks, sending three year old fillies a little more than a mile over the main track. It is a race that debuted in 2006, and up until last year, saw it’s purse range from between $100.000 and $200.000.
