Kendrick Memorial Stakes – $100.000

SRP – 4 ½ Furlongs – Dirt

For Two Year Olds Foaled in NM

April 23, 2023

Southern Oak came to SRP ready to run. The two-year-old gelding came away from the gate sharply and was second by the first call. It was over after that. Whiskey Party made a run at him but came up ¾ length short at the wire.

Complete Order of Finish:

1 Southern Oak (Jive Inc.) Took the lead early and held on to the wire.

2 Whiskey Party (T Boy Racing) Stalked the pace throughout but came up short.

3 Hanny Beatrice (Jive Inc.) Even mid-pack performance got him in a dead heat for third.

3 Magic Runner (Asgar) Led briefly, then faded to tie for third.

5 Old Mexico (Mo Mentum Farm) Never involved.

6 War In The Bahamas (Jokerjoes) Close early, faded badly.

Southern Oak is a perfect two for two in his short career. Bred by owner Jive Inc. in NM, his sire is Stars And Bars out of Healthy Curls (Healthy Living). The win brings his earnings to $67.200. Congratulations to Southern Oak and Jive Inc.!
