Clairiere gallops to victory in her 2022 debut, earning a 96 Beyer Speed Figure.

Finally, some actually warm weather this spring across the middle swath of the country, great news for racing fans at Keeneland and Oaklawn, which host Saturday’s best racing.

Apple Blossom

Letruska won this race a year ago by a nose over Monomoy Girl, and she’ll be favored, likely at odds-on. Letruska, who likes to lead, appears to have a significant pace advantage and will widely be expected to return to top form in her second start this season.

There aren’t too many reliable options in this New York-bred optional claimer, as every horse in this field is either coming off a layoff or making some kind of surface switch.
