Lone Sailor to remain at Oaklawn off allowance win

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – The millionaire Lone Sailor swept into Oaklawn from Fair Grounds last week and won an allowance route by a neck after battling through the stretch with Bruder Bob. He will now remain here with his next start to be determined, trainer Tom Amoss said Tuesday.

Amoss said he was concerned about the race setup for the late-running Lone Sailor when a couple of speed horses scratched.

“It required us to be put a little closer than he likes, than what his style is,” he said. “In the end, the difference maker was Joe Talamo. He rode him great.”

Amoss said Lone Sailor, owned by G M B Racing, will be nominated to stakes at Oaklawn.
