Dear Members of the Media, Thank you for your interest and support of championship horse racing at Oaklawn. As I prepare for my eighth race meet in Hot Springs and reflect on the amazing horses that have raced here during this time, I feel extremely fortunate, especially as a lifelong racing fan. I didn’t think it could get any better than witnessing American Pharoah win the Rebel and Arkansas Derby and then following him through his successful Triple Crown bid. But, it was equally exciting to watch Gun Runner win the Razorback Handicap in February and then end the year as the best horse in the country with his victory in the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic. With a record $30million in purses available, there’s sure to be more superstar horses on the horizon as we go through the 2018 season. When the track first opened 114 years ago, Hot Springs was also the spring training site for several Major League Baseball teams. It’s exciting to be a part of Oaklawn as it continues that legacy today as the spring training home for Thoroughbred champions. Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, Curlin, Summer Bird, Rachel Alexandra, Lookin at Lucky, Zenyatta, Havre de Grace, Will Take Charge, Close Hatches, Work All Week and of course American Pharoah have all come through Oaklawn on their way to future glory.The entire Media Relations team, which also includes Nancy Holthus, Matthew Cox, Robert Yates, and Tina Stauffer, is excited about the upcoming season. Please feel free to contact us at any time.Sincerely,Jennifer Hoyt, Media Relations Manager

About Oaklawn Jockey ClubLocated in the heart of Hot Springs National Park, Oaklawn has been one of the premiere Thoroughbred racetracks in the country since 1904, best known as home of the $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1). Founded by brothers Louis and Charles Cella along with John Condon and Dan Stuart, who also ran the popular downtown Hot Springs night spot Southern Club and Turf Exchange, it wasn’t the first track in Hot Springs, but by 1920, it was the only track.

Oaklawn ran meets through 1907 before anti-gambling reform swept the state and closed the track until 1916. By the time it reopened for a reported 30-day season in 1916, Condon and Stuart had died, leaving the Cella brothers in control of the track.

A little more than a decade after reopen-ing, Oaklawn hosted three of the most famous horses in racing history: Pan Zareta, Old Rosebud and Exterminator – all members of the National Racing and Museum Hall of Fame. This began a tradition of attracting the besthorses in the country to race in Hot

Springs.

While Oaklawn has become synonymous with Triple Crown race success over the past 12 years thanks to horses like Smarty Jones, Curlin, American Pharoah and Creator, it has an even longer history of developing champions. Pres-ident Charles Cella created the Racing Festival of the South in 1974 as a way of showcasing the top horses across all divisions and year after year, the best horses in the world put races like the Arkansas Derby, Apple Blossom (G1) and Oaklawn Handicap (G2) on their schedules. Horses of the Year Cigar, Azeri, Zenyatta, Havre de Grace along with champions Bayakoa, Temperence Hill, The Wicked North, Heavenly Prize, Escena and Closed Hatches have all left their mark on Oaklawn.

Today, Oaklawn also offers a full house of fun and excitement day and night, all year long. The gaming facility features Blackjack with real cards, Roulette, the newest and most popular games and the award-winning Silks Bar and Grill.

Easter Indy proved she’s the leading Arkansas-bred female for the second straight year with her victory in the Down-thedustyroad Stakes. After racing four wide around the turn, the daughter of A.P. Million, gained the lead late in the sttetch and then edged clear under Walter De La Cruz.

One race after kicking off his 3-year-old season with an eye-catching allowance win, Alex & JoAnn Lieblong’s Rockshaw was even more impressive in his front-run-ning four-length victory in the Gazebo as the 2-1 favorite.

Arkansas Derby Recaps 2008-2017

2013 - Overanalyze was winless in four starts following his Arkansas Derby victory, but retired with $1,046,381 in career earnings.

Oxbow (pictured right) rebounded from a fifth-place Arkansas Derby finish to capture the $1 million Preakness (G1) – a record 14th Triple Crown victory for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas – and retired with $1,243,500 in career earnings.

Arkansas Derby runner-up Frac Daddy won two graded stakes the following year, while third-place Arkansas Derby finisher Carve won stakes in 2014 and ‘15, including the $300,000 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap (G3).

2014 - Danza’s only start after winning the Arkansas Derby was a third-place finish in the $2 million Kentucky Derby (G1). Arkan-sas Derby runner-up Ride On Curlin finished second in the $1.5 million Preakness (G1), while sixth place finisher Commissioner was second in teh Belmont Stakes.

After running third in the Arkansas Derby, his stakes debut, Bayern emerged as a force nationally and was runner-up for champion 3-year-old male. He won the $500,000 Woody Ste-phens Stakes (G2), $1 million Haskell Invitational (G1), $1 mil-lion Pennsylvania Derby (G2) and the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).

2015 - American Pharoah became the third Arkansas Derby winner to capture the Kentucky Derby, seventh to capture the Preakness and fourth to capture the Belmont Stakes. In other words, American Pharo-ah did what Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex and Curlin couldn’t – he won the Triple Crown.

American Pharoah became the 12th Triple Crown winner, and first since Affirmed in 1978. He also became the third Arkansas Derby winner to capture the Breeders’ Cup Classic, following Concern in 1994 and Curlin in 2007, and retired with nine victories from 11 starts and earnings of $8,650,300 (fourth-highest total for a North American-based horse).

2016 - Creator once again proved the best route to the Triple Crown runs through Hot Springs when he went from an Oaklawn maiden winner in February to a Belmont Stakes winner in June. In between he finished third in the Rebel Stakes and came from last to give leading rider Ricardo Santana Jr. his first $1 million race win in the Arkansas Derby.

Rebel Stakes winner Cupid, the Derby favorite, could only manage to finish 10th, but did rebound later in the year to post wins in the Indiana Derby (G2) and West Virginia Derby (G2). Ar

2017 - Classic Empire came into the Arkansas Derby as the reign-ing two-year-old champion and left as the Kentucky Derby morning line favorite after making an impressive late run to win by a half-length over Conquest Mo Money. He would go on to finish fourth in the Kentucky Derby after an eventful trip and then finished second in the Preakness Stakes before retiring to Ashford Stud.

Arkansas Derby third-place finisher Lookin at Lee came up the rail to finish second in the Kentucky Derby. He then finished fourth in the Preakness and seventh in the Belmont as the only horse to compete in all three Triple Crown races.

2008 - Gayego wasn’t a factor in Triple Crown races after winning the Arkansas Derby. But, he developed into a top sprinter, amassing $1,751,120 in earnings and winning the $300,000 Ancient Title Stakes (G1) in 2009 at Santa Anita’s Oak Tree meeting. He was also a Group 3 winner in Dubai in 2009 and won the $250,000 Presque Isle Mile Stakes in 2010 at Presque Isle in track record time.

Arkansas Derby third-place finisher Tres Borrachos earned $1,046,233 and became a two-time Grade 2 winner. Fifth-place finisher My Pal Charlie won the Grade 2 Super Derby.

2009 - Papa Clem won the Arkansas Derby and $150,000 San Fernando Stakes (G2), but the star l was third-place finisher Summer Bird. Summer Bird broke his maiden at Oaklawn 23 days before the Arkansas Derby and quickly rose to the top of the 3-year-old division. He won the $1 million Belmont (G1), $1 million Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga and $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) at Belmont Park en route to an Eclipse Award.

Eventual Grade 1 winner Flat Out (sixth) and Grade 2 winner Win Willy (fourth) also competed in the 2009 Arkansas Derby.

2010 - Line of David - Returned to Grade 1 status for the first time since 1988, the Arkansas Derby (still a $1 million event) produced a three-horse photo, with Line of David edging Super Saver by a neck. Dublin was another neck back in third.

But Super Saver turned the tables three weeks later in the $2 million Kentucky Derby (G1) to give two-time Oaklawn jockey champion Calvin Borel his third victory in four years.

2011 - Archarcharch - Injuries were one reason the top four finishers, in-cluding winner Archarcharch, didn’t record any stakes victories in post-Ar-kansas Derby races, although runner-up Nehro did finish second in the $2 million Kentucky Derby (G1).

But, 12th-place finisher Caleb’s Posse, trained by Donnie K. Von Hemel, was narrowly defeated for 3-year-old champion male after a second-half surge produced victories in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1), King’s Bish-op Stakes (G1), Amsterdam Stakes (G2) and Ohio Derby (G3).

The 2011 Derby field also featured Grade 1 sprinter The Factor and multiple stakes winner Alternation.

Arkansas Derby R

ecaps2012 - Bodemeister recorded the second-largest margin of victory in Arkansas Derby history (9 ½ lengths) before finishing second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness – his final two career starts.

Stablemate Secret Circle (also trained by Bob Baffert) finished second to Bodemeister, and, off just one allowance prep, won the $1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) in 2013 at Santa Anita. The runner-up for champion male sprinter of 2013, won the $2 million Golden Shaheen (UAE-I) in 2015 in Dubai before retiring with earn-ings of $3,670,790.
