Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we mark two weeks to this year’s Kentucky Derby. But on Saturday at Oaklawn Park is a pretty darn good matchup that should have most race fans excited. There will be a mandatory payout in the pick six next Saturday along with six stakes races. Favorite: Red Knight (3-1)2:49 Oaklawn (9): Grade 2 $1-million Oaklawn Handicap, 4 and up, 1-1/8 miles. Favorite: Welder (2-1)4:09 Oaklawn (11): Grade 1 $1-million Apple Blossom Handicap, fillies and mares 4 and up, 1-1/16 miles.
