Embellished had a perfect stalking trip to win the $50,000 Northlands Park Oaks by 2 1/2 lengths over Maegans Princesses at Northlands Park on Sunday.
With Heribert Martinez taking a firm hold of the Kentucky-bred filly, Embellished sat just off Maegans Princesses, who set moderate fractions of 24.40 and 48 seconds in the one-mile feature. Embellished moved up to engage Meagans Princess going into the stretch turn and then drew off to post a convincing victory. She paid $6.50 as the second choice behind Castinettes Dancer, who made a late move to finish a non-threatening third.
