Fox Hill Farms Coup de Grace tops a field of nine in the $50,000 Oh Say Stakes this Saturday.  The six furlong event for 3-year-olds is named after the 1982 winner of the Hannibal Handicap at Delaware Park who was locally-owned by the famed Christiana Stables.  Oh Say, whose dam Light Hearted won six straight races at Delaware Park in 1972, including the Delaware Oaks, had a career record of seven wins, a second and a third from nine starts.

J. Larry Jones has taken over the training duties for the Kentucky-bred.  In his most recent effort, the 3-year-old son of Tapit finished sixth in seven furlong Grade II Woody Stephens at Belmont Park on June 7.  Previously, he won the seven furlong Grade III Bay Shore Stakes at Aqueduct on April 5.  He has career record of three wins from five starts with earnings of $258,100.
