OAKLAWN PARK TRACK STATS

Throughout the Oaklawn Park meet, Matthew DeSantis from NYRA Bets will provide updated weekly track trends.

What Are Track Trends?

Track trends provide two levels of data for bettors and handicappers. First, it analyzes how frequently favorites are winning different levels of races as well as looking at how favorites perform on different surfaces and distances. Second, they analyze how different running styles (leaders, trackers, closers) perform on different surfaces and distances to have the ideal winning trip.

Use the data below to help identify helpful trends for handicapping and betting through 18 weeks of the Oaklawn Park meet. Note the distinction between two-turn mile races that have a very short homestretch versus two-turn mile+ races that go to the second finish line and have a longer homestretch.

Why Bet Oaklawn Park?

What sets Oaklawn Park apart? Oaklawn is a favorite among horse racing fans for a few reasons:

  • Big Name Trainers: Oaklawn attracts trainers from various regions, including big name barns from Kentucky. Trainers also bring their horses from Louisiana, Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas, resulting in a diverse racing talent. At Oaklawn, they combine, creating large fields and exciting betting opportunities
  • Track Dynamics: Oaklawn's track plays differently, especially during the winter. Matthew DeSantis can show you how to find the track's rail and speed bias, which can help you make smarter bets
  • The Middle Move: Oaklawn uses two finish lines; races at one mile start and end at the 1/16th pole. The stretch is shorter, and jockeys use the "middle move" to position their horses before the turn and shorter homestretch.
