Oaklawn Park Picks and Predictions for Today’s Stakes Races – 2/6/26

Oaklawn Park Race 6 Martha Washington Stakes

5 Counting Stars has dominating wins in 3 of 4 starts to start her career and is a perfect 2 for 2 here at Oaklawn. Filly has fired 2 bullets since and appears to be sitting on another stellar effort. Top Pick

6 Hit Parade has reeled off 3 straight victories which includes a hard fought victory by a head in the Untapable Stakes at the Fair Grounds. This Filly will be tough to beat in here but I give the slight edge to the aforementioned as she has multiple wins at this venue. Win Contender 

7 Newton Pike was no match for Counting Stars in the Year’s End Stakes but did beat home 7 other foes while raising her dirt speed figure 6 points. Another move forward today and this gal can make some noise in here at a price. Live Longshot

Selections 5-6-7-3

Oaklawn Park Race 8 General MacArthur Overnight Stakes

8 Energize was last seen finishing a tiring third on the All-Weather surface at the Turfway Park in the Last Hurrah Stakes. I Didn’t care for the ride this Gelding received that day. He now  reunites with Jockey Luis Seaz who won on Michael Stidham trainee, two races back. Win Contender

5 Sir Greylind stepped up in class last out and ran a respectable 5th in the Grade 3 Louisana Stakes. He drops in class today and should be very competitive versus this field. Win Contender 

3 Super Cruise is lightly raced with plenty of upside. Colt has been no worse than 3rd in 4 career starts while sporting 2 trips to the winners circle. Hard to leave this fella off your tickets. Major Player

Selections 8-5-3-11

Oaklawn Park Race 10 Bulger Overnight Stakes

5 Foie Gras tracked a fast pace last out and drew off for a near 3-length score in the Oaklawn Anywhere Overnight Stakes here at this distance. Gal enters here off 2 bullets, including a 1/130 4F drill. Win Contender 

4 Hush It Honey must be considered with the horse for the course angle. Mare has won 4 of 6 starts at this distance here at Oaklawn and is a juicy 10-1 on the morning line. Live Longshot 

8 Blue Fire has been running mainly versus Louisana Breds and is multiple State Bred winning Filly. She took on Graded competition in the Eight Belles and ran a sharp second. Don’t sleep on this Fair Grounds shipper. Major Threat

Selections 5-4-8-1

Oaklawn Park Race 11 Southwest Stakes Grade 3

9 Strategic Risk has been dominate in two back to back Stakes races, a 9-length victory down in South Flor1ida and a recent win here in the Smarty Jones Stakes by over 4-lengths. His late pace numbers earned in those victories have been off the charts. He should get a nice fast pace scenario to set up his closing kick. Top Pick

3 Buetane is a Bob Baffert shipper who must be considered. He was second to superstar Ted Noffey in a Grade 1, then recently ran second in the Grade 2 San Vicente on the West Coast. Baffert stretches this youngster out for first time e today. Win Contender 

2 D’Code was a dominating winner on debut by over 8-lengths while clocking in witha near triple digit dirt bris number. No telling how good this one is. We’ll found out today. Major Threat

Selections 9-3-2-11
