The Brad Cox stable continued its recent cleanup of lucrative worldwide dirt stakes for older horses when First Mission rallied in between rivals in the stretch to take the $1.25 million Oaklawn H. (G2) on Saturday.

After a dull effort in her season debut in mid-January, the managers at Calumet Farm transferred the four-year-old filly Gin Gin from Brad Cox to Brendan Walsh in the hopes he could answer a lingering question: Did Gin Gin still want to be a racehorse?

One of the highlights of Skippylongstocking's 2024 campaign, a victory in the Oaklawn H. (G2), might be one this year, too, if the six-year-old veteran gets home on top in Saturday's renewal of the $1.25 million feature over 1 1/8 miles.

Placings behind the Horse of the Year in the Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) and Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) were solid showings for Candied, who makes her season return Friday in the $350,000 Doubledogdare (G3) at Keeneland.
