Mary Rampellini's Horses to Watch at Oaklawn for March 19
Horses to Watch at Oaklawn
TREASURE BOX
Trainer: Gary Hartlage
Last race: March 13, 9th
Finish: 1st by 1/2
Beyer: 80
She trailed for much of a maiden special weight route for 3-year-old fillies, launched a strong bid into the stretch, and was up at the wire to win the 1 1/16-mile race in her career debut. She is a half-sister to both the multiple Grade 1 winner On Fire Baby and the Grade 2 winner High Heels.
PAGANOL
Trainer: Chris Hartman
Last race: March 15, 8th
Finish: 1st by 8 3/4
Beyer: 93
He took quick command of a first-level allowance and increased his advantage with each passing pole for a powerhouse win. The score came over a laboring kind of track in his third start since last February.
MR. RIGHT
Trainer: Steve Asmussen
Last race: March 14, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 2 1/4
Beyer: 83
He popped a career-high Beyer Speed Figure when making his two-turn debut on the undercard of the Rebel Stakes. He is bred for the distance as an older full brother to the Grade 2 winner Tapiture. Mr. Right’s score came on a wet track, as did his other career victory in a maiden race at Aqueduct.
