HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – It was a brother act Saturday at Oaklawn Park.

The Nodouble was a six-furlong race for 3-year-olds and up bred in Arkansas.

Bandit’s Point closed down the center of the track for second, finishing three lengths behind K J’s Nobility. It was another 3 1/2 lengths back in third to Glacken’s Ghost.

K J’s Nobility was winning his first stakes and his second straight race at the meet, following an allowance Feb. 22. He races for Carson McCord. K J’s Nobility is a son of Primary Suspect and the mare K J’s Girl, who won a past running of the Rainbow Miss Stakes for Arkansas-breds at Oaklawn.
