  • The History of Oaklawn Park
    The History of Oaklawn Park 1900s Desiring to build a track closer to downtown, John Condon and Dan Stuart, who also ran Southern Club and Turf Exchange, a popular downtown Hot Springs night spot, and brothers Louis and Charles Cella of St. Louis formed the Oaklawn Jockey Club in 1904. Celebrated Chicago architect Zachary Taylor Davis is hired to design Oaklawn’s glass-enclosed, heated grandstand – among the first of its kind in the country. The grandstand reportedly seated 1,500 people and cost $500,000. Davis designed Wrigley Field, the longtime home of the Chicago Cubs, a decade later. Feb. 15, 1905 – The inaugural meet opens and runs through March 18. 1910s March 11, 1916 – Owner Louis A. Cella returns racing to Oaklawn after nine years 1 of political uncertainty in Arkansas. Cella, from St. Louis, was a bookmaker, horseman and financier and started running tracks, both in his hometown and in New Orleans. He later joined his brother, Charles J. Cella in operating Douglas Park and Latonia Race Course in Kentucky. For a time, they challenged the preeminence of Matt Winn and Churchill Downs in the Blue Grass state. Fabled mare Pan Zareta won the feature that opening day and goes 3-for-3 on the meet. March 8, 1917 – After one race in Mexico, Old Rosebud makes a winning debut at Oaklawn, 33 months after winning the Kentucky Derby in 1914. He would win again a week later, but would finish third at 137 lbs. to Pan Zareta at 113 when they met March 24. Old Rosebud would turn the tables April 6 in an allowance race en route to leading the nation in handicap earnings that year.

  • Blind Luck, Havre De Grace Headline 2018 Hof Finalists
    FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2018 DAVIS HEATS UP AQUEDUCT WINTER BLIND LUCK, HAVRE DE by Joe Bianca GRACE HEADLINE During the rare months of the year when New York racing takes a back seat to other circuits, it=s hard for any news from 2018 HOF FINALISTS the frozen tundra of Aqueduct to break through into the sport=s mainstream awareness. Dylan Davis made that dent Sunday however, after tying a New York Racing Association record by piloting home six winners from nine mounts. That performance followed a five-win day two weeks prior and launched the 23-year-old to the top of the meet standings, ahead of odds-on favorite Manny Franco. The key to this unprecedented success for the Empire State born-and-bred son of jockey Robbie Davis, Dylan said Thursday, is his relationship with new agent Mike Migliore, brother of Richie, and the team effort that has surfaced behind him between the two families.
