Southwest to be held Sunday
|
After being postponed due to a winter storm, the Southwest (G3) will be held Sunday at Oaklawn Park. The 1 1/16-mile event is part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series, offering points on a 10-4-2-1 basis to the top four respective finishers. The Southwest was originally part of Monday's Presidents Day card at the Hot Springs, Arkansas track. Oaklawn officials announced Monday that if the weather cleared up to allow training Tuesday morning, the Southwest would be held Saturday. Sunday was the alternative if the track couldn't open until Wednesday or Thursday, and freezing conditions kept the track closed on Tuesday morning. Twelve three-year-olds were initially entered, but the Southwest will be re-drawn on Thursday.

J S Bach (Tale of the Cat), an impressive Gulfstream maiden winner for Todd
Pletcher, and Lecomte (G2) runner-up War Story (Northern Afleet) were part of
the original field, but both runners have been entered in Saturday's Risen Star
(G2) at Fair Grounds and are expected to bypass the Southwest.
Oaklawn is scheduled to resume live racing on Thursday.
