Oaklawn will offer its 1st all-2-year-old card Saturday

For the first time in its history, Oaklawn will offer a full card of 2-year-old races Saturday highlighted by the inaugural runnings of the $150,000 Renaissance Stakes for juveniles at six furlongs and the $150,000 Year’s End of juvenile fillies at one mile.

The Renaissance Stakes drew a field of six led by the undefeated Count de Monet, who won the opening day Advent Stakes. Among his rivals is Spurrier, who won at first asking Dec. 10 to give trainer Ron Moquett his 300th Oaklawn victory.

The Year’s End drew a field of nine fillies, including Defining Purpose, who comes off a solid effort in the Golden Rod (G3) at Churchill Downs and Bluelightspecial, who has never been worse than third in six career starts.

The 10-race card, which begins at 1:30 p.m. EST, also includes six $90,000 maiden races, a $104,000 allowance optional-claiming race with a claiming price of $80,000 and a $51,000 starter allowance optional-claiming race with a claiming price of $50,000.
