Midnight Hawk, who would have been a top contender in Saturday’s Grade 2, $600,000 Oaklawn Handicap, will miss the race with a foot issue, according to trainer Bob Baffert. Baffert worked Midnight Hawk six furlongs at Santa Anita last Saturday. “He popped a foot abscess after the work,” Baffert said. “He isn’t coming.” Midnight Hawk finished second by a neck to Race Day in the Razorback Handicap on March 14. Midnight Hawk’s defection will make Race Day a solid favorite this weekend. Others pointing to the Oaklawn Handicap include Tapiture, Golden Lad, Sammy Mandeville, and For Greater Glory. :: Bet Oaklawn Park with DRF Bets. Get up to a $500 cash bonus! Find out more today.
