Dear Members
of the Media,
Jennifer Hoyt assists the
media interviewing jockey
VIctor Espinoza after his
victory aboard American
Pharoah in the Arkansas
Derby.
Thank you so much for your interest and support of
championship horse racing at Oaklawn. It was such a thrill
last year to have been the site that helped launch American
Pharoah’s successful Triple Crown bid and have him end
the year with such a dominating victory in the Breeders’
Cup Classic. And, while that excitement may be tough to
beat, we are certainly looking forward to what this year’s
3-year-olds races will hold. With a record $27 million in
purses available, we have attracted some of the best
horses and horsemen in the country for the 2016 season.

When the track first opened 112 years ago, Hot Springs,
Ark., was also the spring training site for several Major
League Baseball teams. Oaklawn continues that legacy
today as the spring training home for Thoroughbred
champions. Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, Curlin, Summer
Bird, Rachel Alexandra, Lookin at Lucky, Zenyatta, Havre
de Grace, Will Take Charge, Close Hatches, Work All Week
and of course American Pharoah have all come through
Oaklawn on their way to future stardom.
We are excited to have longtime Arkansas Democrat
Gazette turf writer Robert Yates returning for his second
year on our Media Relations team. The entire Media
Relations team, which also includes Nancy Holthus, Terry
Wallace and Sunny Taylor, is excited about the upcoming
season and we look forward to assisting you in any way we
can. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hoyt, Media Relations Manager

Charles J. Cella
President of Oaklawn Park
Oaklawn President Charles J. Cella,
who has been at the track’s helm since
1968, comes from a family with a long
tradition of involvement in Thoroughbred
racing. His grandfather and great uncle,
Charles and Louis Cella, were among
the founders of Oaklawn and were
prominent investors in racing ventures
nationwide in the early part of the 20th
century. His father, the late John Cella,
served as track president during the
modern era of Oaklawn until his death
in 1968.
Under John Cella, Oaklawn asserted
itself as an industry leader when it
became a charter member of the
Thoroughbred Racing Associations, a
forerunner of today’s national racing
organization which operates under a
self-imposed code of standards and
ethics. John Cella served as president
of the TRA in 1959-60. Charles Cella
continued Oaklawn’s close relationship
with the TRA, serving as the youngest
president in its history in 1975-76.
The independence that comes from the
Cella family’s stewardship has allowed
Oaklawn to enter an era of growth
unmatched by any other racing center in
America. With multimillion dollar capital
and racing improvements, the track
has reached elite status in the United
States.
“I am a race track guy,” Cella said. “I
truly love racing. It’s my life. I’ve devoted
my adult years to it. I am proud of the
way Oaklawn has worked to present
the right atmosphere of horse racing
– the tradition, the basic values, the
pageantry of the sport.”
Under Cella’s guidance, Oaklawn has
continued to set industry standards. In
1990, it was the first North American
track to import full-card races across
state lines for simulcasting purposes
and in the late 1990s, after suffering
through years of decline due to
competition in other states, Oaklawn
reasserted itself with the invention
of Instant Racing©. Today, Oaklawn’s
horsemen enjoy some of the highest
purses in the country thanks to the
state-of-the-art gaming center opened in
2010 featuring Instant Racing and other
electronic games of skills.
Cella’s record as a sportsman has
always been on display throughout his
tenure and is reflected in his 2004
Eclipse Award of Merit and induction
into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame
in 2008. And, he has never been afraid
to go after the big horses. To celebrate
the track’s 100th anniversary, Cella
announced the purse of the Arkansas
Derby would be raised to $1 million and
offered a $5 million bonus to any horse
that could sweep track’s 3-year-old
races and the Kentucky Derby and sure
enough, Smarty Jones stepped up and
accomplished the feat.
“By taking this action” noted Cella at the
time, “We commit ourselves to creating
a vibrant three-year-old racing program,
which may attract the finest of the
breed, for years to come.”
Cella’s vision came to fruition in a big
way in 2015 when reigning 2-year-old
champion American Pharoah made a
winning seasonal debut in the Rebel
Stakes. He returned for an even more
impressive victory in the Arkansas
Derby before becoming the first horse
in 37 years to win the Triple Crown
by sweeping the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
In between Smarty Jones and
American Pharoah, there is a long list
of champions and Classic winning
horses that chose Oaklawn as their
springboard, including Afleet Alex, Curlin,
Summer Bird, Lookin at Lucky, Super
Saver, and Oxbow. And, today Oaklawn
offers one of the richest Triple Crown
prep series with $2.55 million in purses
across four races.
With loyal fans across Arkansas and the
greater region, Cella has good reason to
be bullish on Oaklawn’s future.
“We used to have one product – live
racing,” he said. “We now have live
racing, simulcast racing, and our newest
products - Instant Racing and electronic
games of skill. However, our mindset
has always been that racing is first.”
Charles J. Cella and his family celebrate
Cyber Secret’s 2013 Oaklawn Handicap
victory. Oaklawn Park still remains a family
affair.
“I am a race track guy. I truly love racing.
It’s my life. I’ve devoted my adult years to it.
I love the people.”
Charles J. Cella
In addition to running a racetrack, Cella
is a prominent participant as an owner.
His colt, Northern Spur, won the 1995
Eclipse Award as champion turf horse
after winning the Breeders’ Cup Turf
and more recently he has found success
with 2013 Razorback and Oaklawn
Handicap winner Cyber Secret and 2014
Fifth Season Stakes winner Drogue.
Cella received his B.A. in political
science at Washington and Lee
University. Active in numerous sports,
Cella was a nationally-ranked squash
player for many years. He is president
of Southern Real Estate and Financial
Company and has served as past or
present director of National Gypsum
Company, First Commercial National
and the Arkansas State Chamber of
Commerce. He also has served as a
board member of the Arkansas Easter
Seal Society and is an honorary trustee
of the Schepens Eye Research Institute
in Boston. He endowed the Knowlton
Incentive for Excellence Awards at
Barnes-Jewish Hospital in his hometown
St. Louis, as well as the Fred Russell Grantland Rice Scholarship for Sports
Journalism at Vanderbilt University.
He has also been a director of the
Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show,
the Municipal Theater Association of
St. Louis and the Jockey Club in New
York. He has been recognized as a
lifetime honorary member of the Board
of Governors of the Arkansas Livestock
Show Association.

Board of Directors
Eric Jackson General Manager
A native of Hot Springs, Jackson grew up playing golf on the track’s old infield golf course and covered the
racing season for a local newspaper. He is a graduate of Hendrix College with degrees in business and
economics. Jackson has been with Oaklawn since 1978, first as director of operations. He has been General
Manager since 1987 and on the board of directors since 1994. He is also president of Southwestern Catering
and president of RaceTech.
In the 1980’s, Jackson helped conceive and develop America’s first interstate full-card simulcasting with
merged pool wagering. Merged-pool simulcasting has since grown to account for more than 80% of the
wagering placed in North America and has become a racing mainstay around the world. In 1997, Jackson
developed the concept that led to the patent of the Instant Racing ® System and the formation of the
RaceTech company. Since first introduced, Instant Racing has generated approximately $50 million for racing
purses at racetracks around country.
A leader on and off the track, Jackson has been heavily involved in community service. For over 25 years he
has served on various local, state and national healthcare boards, and currently serves on the Board of CHI – St. Vincent’s. In addition, he is
the author of various economic studies, and has lectured on racing, gaming and tourism at colleges and universities. In 2001, he was given the
Desoto Award for his lifetime contributions to Hot Springs. He is also a past recipient of the Arkansas Tourism Person of the Year award and the
Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Citizen Award.

2015 will go down as one of the most memorable years in Oaklawn’s famed history. It began with the debut of a
$20 million expansion of the gaming area featuring the new Silks Bar & Grill, included victories by eventual Triple
Crown winner American Pharoah in both the Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby and saw numerous awards and
recognitions throughout the year.
“For 112 years, the name Oaklawn has been known worldwide as one of the premier destinations for Thoroughbred racing in the United States, but our challenge has been developing that same reputation and brand loyalty
on the gaming side,” said General Manager Eric Jackson. “Earning these awards for our gaming center shows our
commitment to offering outstanding customer service while capitalizing on our location in Hot Springs, a national
park community, year-round.”
Among the highlights of Oakawn’s awards in 2015 was its designation as Best of
the Best after readers of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette voted it the Best Casino
for the second straight year. Oaklawn received similar recognition from the readers
of AY Magazine and Arkansas Times, who voted it the Best Casino and Best Place to
Gamble, respectively. In addition, Group Tours Magazine named it the Best Southern
Casino and Southern Gaming Magazine named it the Best Racino in the Mid-South
region. On the racing side, Architectural Digest included Oaklawn in its Top Ten Most
Beautiful Racetracks in the World.
2015
B
OF THE
Silks Bar & Grill was an instant success and by year’s end, it had racked up several
awards of its own. Arkansas Times readers voted it Best New Bar in Arkansas and it
was runner-up for Best Bar and Best Sports Bar. Readers of the Sentinel Record voted it Best Bar and the signature Silks Burger was runner up as Best Burger. The Silks Burger and Silks margarita also received special
recognition at the Hot Springs Flavor in the Park event.
2015 Accolades
2015: A Year of Accolades
Contributing to Oaklawn’s success was its award-winning marketing department who received four Romero
Awards in 2015 to bring their lofty total to 25 over the last six years. Oaklawn was competing in the large gaming
property category for the first time as a result of the expansion, which increased the competition exponentially.
Oaklawn now heads into 2016 with record purses for the eighth straight year, a fully-expanded gaming area and
strong commitment to continually bring a bigger and better entertainment experience to all of its patrons.
Gaming Brings Opportunity for Horsemen, Hot Springs Community
For the eighth consecutive year, Oaklawn will offer record purses in 2016 with more than $27 million projected for the season.
Maiden Special Weight races will carry purses of $68,000, which is $8,000 per race higher than the start of last season. Open
Allowance races will have purses up to $75,000. The minimum purse will be $21,000.
Since 2008, Oaklawn’s purses have increased by 33%. According to Oaklawn’s Director of Racing David Longinotti, the spike in
purse distribution is the result of a strong racing product and the success of Instant Racing and other electronic gaming.
“In this day and age, it’s always gratifying to be able to raise purses – and for us to be able to do so year-after-year is a reflection
of Oaklawn’s commitment to bringing the highest quality racing to Arkansas,” said Longinotti.
The increased purses are not only good news for the horsemen, but the entire Hot Springs
community, who will benefit from the increased tourism generated from the expanded gaming area and high quality racing between January and April. Oaklawn has added an additional 300 employees since expanding in Janulary 2015.
The expansion also bodes well for the Oaklawn Foundation, which was established in 2005.
The Foundation uses the money generated from the gaming area to fund programs and
scholarships to benefit Garland County students and senior citizens, including the construction of a new Center on Aging in association with the University of Arkansas for Medical
Sciences and the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. Originally projected to provide funding of
between $250,000 and $500,000, the Oaklawn Foundation will have received more than
$1 million in 2015 and awarded more than 100 scholarships.

Oaklawn Park’s Top Ten Jockeys in 2015
Born: Oct. 2, 1973 Birthplace: Hutchinson, KS
Birzer had another solid Oaklawn meet in 2015 and enters 2016 having finished in the top 10 at both
Prairie Meadows and Remington Park. Among his stakes winners in 2015 were Zeta Zody, Ecleto Red, Bad
Moon and Excessive.
A son of the nation’s heartland, Birzer is a veteran jockey who has spring-boarded successful Oaklawn
meets into dominating performances at other tracks. He has led the standings four times at The Woodlands
outside Kansas City, Kan. and holds three titles at Prairie Meadows where he hit the 2,000-win milestone
June 4, 2010.
One of Birzer’s top horses was Patton’s Victory who gave him his first career graded stakes tally in the 2003
Fifth Season at Oaklawn. He teamed with that horse to win the $75,000 Prairie Meadows Handicap and
$50,000 Precisionist, as well.
On Aug. 15, 1997, Birzer won six of his eight races at Columbus in Nebraska. The riding feat came the day
after his daughter Jordan LeAnn was born.

Born: Nov. 7, 1966 Birthplace: St. Martin Parish, LA
Joined an elite group of riders when he won the 5,000th race of his career March 7, 2013 at Oaklawn aboard
Hezunusal. Later in the year, he was inducted into Thoroughbred Racing’s Hall of Fame.

He was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame Feb. 11, 2011 and just three days later left for Dubai

In recent years, Borel, a two-time-riding champ at Oaklawn, has become synonymous with Kentucky Derby
success, winning the Run for the Roses three times in four years between 2007 and 2010, including with
2010 Arkansas Derby runner-up Super Saver. A run matched only by riding great Eddie Arcaro. His streak
started with Street Sense and two years later he became a household name by riding Mine That Bird to victory
in the 2009 Derby, but then sticking with eventual Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness two
weeks later.
Borel grew up in Louisiana Cajun country and started riding at bush tracks as a child. He reached the highest
echelons of racing with a fearless and aggressive riding style – earning the nickname “Bo-rail” for his courage
taking horses through tight spots along the inside.
Won Oaklawn’s 2015 King Cotton with Ivan Fallunovalot, who he rode to victory in two other stakes later in the
year.

Born: July 19, 1982 Birthplace: Hollywood, FL
Jockey Joe Rocco Jr. made the most of his return to Oaklawn, his first full season here since 2011. He finished
among the top 10 riders and rode Spring Included to victory in both the Spring Fever and Carousel Stakes.
Rocco Jr. was born with racing in his blood. He is the son of retired jockey Joe Rocco, Sr., who rode for 34 years
and won over 3,700 races, and would often compete against his father when both were riding at Delaware Park.
His grandfather, Baden Hughes, and his mother, Debora, both trained horses and owned broodmares. Rocco, who
began galloping and rubbing horses as a teenager, launched his own riding career 17 years ago, notching his first
career win in 1999 at Tampa Bay Downs.
The rider won his first career stakes race in 2003 aboard House Party in the $75,000 Legal Light Stakes at
Delaware Park. His first graded stakes victory came at Oaklawn in 2012 when he rode Tiz Miz Sue to victory in the
Azeri Stakes. The following year, the popular mare gave him his first Grade 1 win in the Ogden Phipps Handicap at
Belmont Park.
After years as a mainstay on the mid-Atlantic circuit, Rocco Jr. moved his primary base to Kentucky where he
enjoyed the best years of his career to date the last three years. Among his biggest wins in 2014 were the Indiana
Oaks (G2) with High Dollar Woman and Kentucky Turf Cup with Da Big Hoss.

Handicap with Golden Rod. His first stakes victory also came at Oaklawn in the 2011 Spring Fever aboard Salty
Wave.
Success followed Santana Jr. throughout 2015. He was among the leading riders during the Fall Meet at
Keeneland and November meet at Churchill Downs. And, won graded stakes races with Holy Boss and Tapiture.
Earned his first career leading rider title in 2012 at Delaware Park.
He hails from Panama, which is also the birthplace of Hall of Famers Laffit Pincay, Jr. and Braulio Baeza. He
is from a part of the country where you either join a gang or become a jockey and fortunately, he had the
footsteps of his father, Ricardo Sr., a former jockey, to follow.
The up and coming rider came to the United States in 2009 and settled in at Delaware Park where another
Panamanian Gabriel Saez was already finding success. His ability and work ethic quickly caught the eye of
trainer Ron Moquett, who had been told to “watch this kid” by Hall of Fame riders Jose Santos and Edgar
Prado. He considers jockey and another fellow Panamanian Cornelio Velasquez a mentor.

Trainer Wayne Catalano is making Oaklawn his winter base for the second consecutive year. He comes off a solid
2015, as his runners took in more than $2.5 million in earnings.
First major stakes success came with the Darrell and Evelyn Yates’ Crypto Star, who captured the 1997 Louisiana Derby and Arkansas Derby en route to a fifth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby.
Has trained two champions. Both Dreaming of Anna and She Be Wild earned the Eclipse Award as champion
2-year-old fillies in 2006 and 2008, respectively, after winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).
As a teenager growing up in the 9th Ward near Fair Grounds in New Orleans, an uncle took notice of his diminutive size and suggested he go to the racetrack to become a jockey. He hooked up with Hall of Fame trainer Jack
Van Berg at Fair Grounds and “learned the game from the ground up.”
He eventually began exercising horses for Van Berg and then riding competitively, scoring his first victory on May
20, 1974, at Churchill Downs on a horse named Hellfire. In all, he won 1,792 races during a nine-year riding
career before chronic knee injuries forced his retirement in 1983.

Brad Cox Born: March 3, 1980 •
Birthplace: Louisville, KY
Cox grew up a few blocks from Churchill Downs and earned an advanced degree in racing education under the famed
Twin Spires (though one might think he was a graduate of the University of Kentucky with all the athletic garb he
wears regularly.) He broke into the game working for trainers Burt Kessinger and Jimmy Baker before landing a job as
assistant to trainer Dallas Stewart. His five-year stint there indoctrinated him to the revolutionary training program pioneered by D. Wayne Lukas and has been passed down through former assistants like Todd Pletcher, Kiaran McLaughlin and Stewart.
Once setting out on his own in 2005, Cox needed to be sharp to get established with a small stable. He identified Oaklawn in 2009 as a place to build momentum and get rolling with horses he picked out through claiming races. Since
then he has been a solid force in the trainer standings, closing out the 2014 meet in a tie for 4th in the standings.
Cox has claimed a few horses that have gone on to win stakes races, including Temple Street. He claimed her for
$15,000 and she then ran third in the 2009 Spring Fever Stake and second in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff.
Cox enjoyed the best year of his career in 2015 and earned graded stakes victories with Call Pat, Spelling Again and
Chocolate Ride.

2014 and 2015 leading owner Danny Caldwell learned to appreciate horses while growing up on an
Oklahoma farm. After graduating from Northeastern State University, he spent 13 years coaching high
school football, basketball and girls softball where he accumulated multiple state championships. During
those years, he dabbled in Quarter Horse ownership and claiming after attending the races at Blue Ribbon
Downs in Sallisaw.
Eventually, his brother approached him with an opportunity to go into the natural stone business. This
business venture afforded him the chance to get serious about the horse business. After starting out small
by claiming a few horses at Churchill Downs in 2007, the operation became a full time operation more than
two years ago when he hired trainer Federico Villafranco as his private trainer.
Caldwell has also earned top honors as leading owner at Remington Park in six of the last seven years and
was leading owner at Prairie Meadows the last two years.
Known for being a hands-on owner and having a keen eye for the claiming game, some of his favorite
horses are Herecomesthemannow, who won the Oklahoma Classics Sprint Stakes after being claimed
for $7500; and Fifth Date, who was claimed for $18,000 and went on to win the Oklahoma Classics Cup
Stakes.

James Rogers’ affiliation with horses goes back decades. In the early 1980s, he owned and trained Quarter Horses
before transitioning to Thoroughbreds and eventually getting out of the business.
In 2003, Rogers, who works primarily in the oil business, and his wife, JoBrenda, decided to dabble into ownership
again. But, little did they know that less than 10 years later a $55,000 two-year-old purchase would lead to their
biggest success as owners. Alsvid, trained by Chris Hartman, became a millionaire in 2015 and earned two graded
stakes victories.
After finishing second in the 2014 Count Fleet Sprint Handicap (G3) and five other Oaklawn sprint stakes, Alsvid
finally earned a victory in the 2015 Count Fleet. He followed that up with a victory in the Aristides Stakes (G3) at
Churchill and took his connections to their first Breeders’ Cup as a participant in the Sprint.

Versailles, Ky owned by Josephine Abercrombie. Among the best horses bred by Pin Oak was 1976 Arkansas
Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Elocutionist.
The star of the stable of 2015 was Gold Medal Dancer, upset winner of the $300,000 Azeri Stakes.
First foals by Alternation arrived in 2015. In ‘12, he won five stakes, including the Oaklawn Handicap and
Pimlico Special.
A skilled equestrienne as a youth, Abercrombie was a champion show rider of gaited horses and a record holder
at Madison Square Garden for prizes won in a single season. In 1949, she took an interest in Thoroughbred
racing and set up a racing syndicate involving her father, an uncle and a couple of friends to purchase yearlings
for training and racing.
Pin Oak, which was the 1995 National Breeder of the Year, is home to about 40 broodmares and stallions
Alternation, Broken Vow, Cowboy Cal and Sky Classic. It had been home to top stallion Mariah’s Mon until his
death in 2007.

Owners Gary and Mary West are had a solid meet at Oaklawn in 2015, finishing fourth in the standings with eight wins.
Their top horse was Oceanwave, second in both the Honeybee (G3) and Fantasy (G3) Stakes.
The Wests’ first big thrill in racing was starting Rockamundo in the Kentucky Derby in 1993. Rockamundo had won the
Arkansas Derby (G2) that year at odds of 108-1.
The Wests claimed their first horse in 1980 for $13,500. His name was Joe Blow and won 23 races for them.
West became a racing fan when he was 19 after moving to Omaha, Neb., where Ak-Sar-Ben, then one of the nation’s
leading tracks, was located. Mrs. West owned a horse in high school and remembers always enjoying racing. When the
couple first married, they were racegoers at Ak-Sar-Ben and dreamed of someday owning a racehorse.
Gary began his career in hospital administration. He went on to build one of the largest telecommunications companies
in the world. Along with wife, Mary, West has founded numerous companies over the past four decades. Their focus now
is the Gary and Mary West Foundation.
Top horses campaigned over the years include Dollar Bill, Book Review, Mongoose, Guilt Trip, Power Broker, Title
Contender, Flashback, Room Service, West Coast Belle, and New Year’s Day.

Arkansas Derby Recaps
Arkansas Derby Recaps 2004-2015
2004 (SMARTY JONES)
Smarty Jones became the first Arkansas Derby winner to win the Kentucky Derby since Sunny’s Halo in 1983 and
collected the largest payday in North American racing history ($5,854,800), the bulk coming from Oaklawn owner
Charles Cella’s $5 million “Centennial Bonus” for sweeping the Rebel and Arkansas Derby and the $1 million Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs.
In conjunction with the bonus, Cella raised the purse of the Arkansas Derby
from $500,000 to $1 million, making it the first seven-figure race in Oaklawn
history.
Smarty Jones, who was named champion 3-year-old, added the second jewel
of the Triple Crown, the $1 million Preakness (G1) by a record 11 ½ lengths,
but missed winning the Triple Crown by a length in the $1 million Belmont
Stakes (G1), his only loss in nine career starts.
Smarty Jones wins Kentucky Derby.
Arkansas Derby runner-up Borrego won two Grade 1 events in 2005 ($1 million Pacific Classic at Del Mar and $1
million Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park); fifth-place finisher Purge, one of only two horses ever favored over
Smarty Jones, went on to win the $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes (G2) in 2004 at Belmont Park, $500,000 Jim Dandy
Stakes (G2) in 2004 at Saratoga and the $350,000 Cigar Mile (G1) in 2005 at Aqueduct in his final career start.
Fourth-place Arkansas Derby finisher Harvard Avenue won two graded stakes after the Derby.
2005 (AFLEET ALEX)
The athletic Afleet Alex used a record-breaking eight-length Arkansas Derby victory as a springboard to Triple Crown
success. After finishing third in the $2 million Kentucky Derby (G1), Afleet Alex won the $1 million Preakness (G1),
despite his nose dipping inches from the ground after clipping heels at the top of the stretch, and the $1 million Belmont (G1). And like Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex was a near-unanimous choice for champion 3-year-old male.
Arkansas Derby runner-up Flower Alley emerged as one of the country’s top 3-year-olds, winning the $1 million Travers Stakes (G1) – billed the “Midsummer Derby” – and $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes (G2) at Saratoga before finishing second to Saint Liam in the $4 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) at Belmont Park.
After finishing third in the Arkansas Derby, Andromeda’s Hero ran second to Afleet Alex in the Belmont, beaten seven
lengths, before winning the $100,000 Fred W. Hooper Handicap (G3) at Calder in his final start of 2005.
Real Dandy (4th), future grass specialist Rush Bay (7th) and Wild Desert (8th) also went on to win graded stakes
after their Arkansas Derby runs.
2006 (LAWYER RON)
Lawyer Ron won the Arkansas Derby for Bob Holthus, Oaklawn’s all-time leading trainer, but the colt became a
champion under the direction of mega trainer Todd Pletcher.
He returned to Hot Springs in 2007 to win the $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap (G2)
and added Grade 1 victories that summer at Saratoga in the $750,000 Whitney
Handicap and $500,000 Woodward Stakes.
Lawyer Ron, who was named champion older male of 2007, set a track record for
1 1/8 miles in the Whitney (1:46.64) and earned $2,790,008 in his career.
40
Pletcher was represented in the ‘06 Arkansas Derby by ninth-place finisher High
Cotton, who would score his biggest career victory that summer in the $200,000
Northern Dancer Breeders’ Cup Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs. He also won the
$100,000 Sir Barton Stakes at Pimlico in his first start following the Arkansas
Derby.
Curlin became the fourth consecutive Arkansas Derby winner to capture an Eclipse Award. In addition to champion 3-year-old male, the colt, who won the Arkansas Derby by a record 10 ½
lengths, was crowned Horse of the Year in 2007 and named champion older
male and Horse of the Year in 2008.
Curlin ($10,501,800) remains the leading North American-based money winner
in history, was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame
in 2014 and recorded the largest margin of victory (7 ¾ lengths) in the Dubai
World Cup (UAE-I), the world’s richest race. He won 11 of 16 lifetime starts.
Delightful Kiss earned $1,096,263 in a 36-race career highlighted by a victory
in the $300,000 Ohio Derby (G2) at Thistledown, his second start after finishing fourth in the Arkansas Derby.
Curlin winning the ‘07
Breeders’ Cup Classic
Fifth-place Arkansas Derby finisher Going Ballistic won the $500,000 Super Derby (G2) at Louisiana Downs and
the $300,000 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park in consecutive starts in the fall.
2008 (GAYEGO)
Gayego wasn’t a factor in Triple Crown races after winning the Arkansas Derby. But, he developed into a top sprinter, amassing $1,751,120 in earnings and winning the $300,000 Ancient Title
Stakes (G1) in 2009 at Santa Anita’s Oak Tree meeting. He was also a Group
3 winner in Dubai in 2009 and won the $250,000 Presque Isle Mile Stakes in
2010 at Presque Isle in track record time.
Arkansas Derby third-place finisher Tres Borrachos earned $1,046,233 and
became a two-time Grade 2 winner ($350,000 Swaps Stakes in 2008 at Hollywood Park and $200,000 San Diego Handicap in 2011 at Del Mar).
After finishing fifth in the Arkansas Derby, My Pal Charlie won the $500,000
Super Derby (G2) in the fall at Louisiana Downs.
Gayego winning Presque Isle Mile
Golden Yank dead-heated for seventh in the Arkansas Derby, but won the ungraded $350,000 Oklahoma and

Papa Clem won the Arkansas Derby and $150,000 San Fernando Stakes (G2) in 2010 at Santa Anita before suffering a career-ending injury, but the unquestioned star leaving Hot Springs was third-place finisher Summer Bird.
Summer Bird, who broke his maiden at Oaklawn 23 days before the Arkansas
Derby, quickly rose to the top of the 3-year-old division, winning the $1 million Belmont (G1), $1 million Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga and $750,000
Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) at Belmont Park en route to an Eclipse Award.
Flat Out finished sixth in the Arkansas Derby before developing into one of
the country’s top handicap horses. He was a three-time Grade I winner –
$750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup in 2011 at Belmont Park, $1 million Jockey
Club Gold Cup in 2012 at Belmont Park and the $750,000 Cigar Mile in 2013
at Aqueduct in his final career start.
Papa Clem gets jump on Summer Bird
(red cap), but the later becomes the
star.
Win Willy ran fourth in the Arkansas Derby, but a victory in the $350,000 Oaklawn Handicap (G2) in 2011 helped
the popular late runner earn $1,023,063 in a 37-race career. He also won the $75,000 Fifth Season Stakes in
2011 at Oaklawn.

Arkansas Derby Recaps 2004-2015 cont.
2010 (LINE OF DAVID)
Returned to Grade 1 status for the first time since 1988, the Arkansas
Derby (still a $1 million event) produced a three-horse photo, with Line
of David edging Super Saver by a neck. Dublin was another neck back
in third.
But Super Saver turned the tables three weeks later in the $2 million
Kentucky Derby (G1) to give two-time Oaklawn jockey champion Calvin
Borel his third victory in four years.
Super Saver (center) turns the table in Kentucky
Uh Oh Bango, who finished fourth in the Arkansas Derby, won the
$150,000 San Pasqual Stakes (G2) in 2012 at Santa Anita.
In addition to Super Saver ($1,889,766), Noble’s Promise ($1,193,376) attained millionaire status and won the
$100,000 Aristides Stakes (G3) in 2011 at Churchill Downs. He also ran fifth in the Kentucky Derby.
2011 (ARCHARCHARCH)
Injuries were one reason the top four finishers, including winner Archarcharch, didn’t record any stakes victories in post-Arkansas Derby races,
although runner-up Nehro did finish second in the $2 million Kentucky
Derby (G1).
But, 12th-place finisher Caleb’s Posse, trained by Donnie K. Von Hemel,
was narrowly defeated for 3-year-old champion male after a second-half
surge produced victories in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1)
at Churchill Downs, $250,000 King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) at Saratoga,
$150,000 Amsterdam Stakes (G2) at Saratoga and $100,000 Ohio Derby
(G3) at Thistledown.
Archarcharch wins over Nehro
The Factor, seventh as the Arkansas Derby favorite, captured two Grade 1 sprints on the West Coast later in the
year – $250,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes at Del Mar and $300,000 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita. The Factor won the
$200,000 San Carlos Stakes (G2) in 2012 at Santa Anita.
Alternation, also trained by Von Hemel, finished fifth in the Arkansas Derby and earned $1,064,727 in a 19-race
career that included victories in the $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes (G2) in 2011 at Belmont Park and the $400,000
Oaklawn Handicap (G2) in 2012 at Oaklawn.
2012 (BODEMEISTER)
Bodemeister recorded the second-largest margin of victory in Arkansas Derby history (9 ½ lengths) before finishing second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness – his final two career starts.
Stablemate Secret Circle (also trained by Bob Baffert) finished second to
Bodemeister, and, off just one allowance prep, won the $1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) in 2013 at Santa Anita. The runner-up for champion male
sprinter of 2013, won the $2 million Golden Shaheen (UAE-I) in 2015 in Dubai
before retiring with earnings of $3,670,790.
Cozzetti, fourth in the Arkansas Derby, won the $200,000 American Derby
(G3) on the grass over the summer at Arlington Park.
Bodemeister wins impressively
Ninth-place Arkansas Derby finisher Optimizer also did his best work on turf,
winning the $200,000 Kent Stakes (G3) in 2012 at Delaware Park and, in 2013, the $125,000 Colonel E.R. Bradley Handicap (G3) and $150,000 Fair Grounds Handicap (G3) at Fair Grounds.
Isn’t He Clever finished eighth in the Arkansas Derby, but won numerous stakes races after returning to New
Mexico.
42
Overanalyze was winless in four starts following his Arkansas Derby victory, but retired with $1,046,381 in career earnings.
Oxbow (pictured left) rebounded from a fifth-place Arkansas Derby finish to capture
the $1 million Preakness (G1) – a record 14th Triple Crown victory for Hall of Fame
trainer D. Wayne Lukas – and retired with $1,243,500 in career earnings.
Arkansas Derby runner-up Frac Daddy won the $150,000 Ben Ali Handicap (G3) in
2014 at Keeneland and the $200,000 Eclipse Stakes (Can-II) in 2014 at Woodbine.
Third-place Arkansas Derby finisher Carve won the 2014 $300,000 Prairie Meadows
Cornhusker Handicap (G3) Prairie Meadows, 2014 $200,000 West Virginia Governor’s Stakes at Mountaineer and the $100,000 Fifth Season Stakes in 2015 at
Oaklawn.
Falling Sky, fourth in the Arkansas Derby, later won stakes at Gulfstream and Keeneland.
2014 (DANZA)
Danza’s only start after winning the Arkansas Derby was a third-place finish in the $2 million Kentucky Derby
(G1). Arkansas Derby runner-up Ride On Curlin won just once in 2014 (an allowance race at Oaklawn), but did
finish second in the $1.5 million Preakness (G1).
After running third in the Arkansas Derby, his stakes debut, Bayern
emerged as a force nationally and was runner-up for champion 3-year-old
male. He won the $500,000 Woody Stephens Stakes (G2), $1 million
Haskell Invitational (G1), $1 million Pennsylvania Derby (G2) and the $5
million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).
Tapiture, fourth in the Arkansas Derby, won two graded stakes and closed
out the year finishing second in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. In 2015, he
won the Ack Ack Handicap (G3) Churchill Downs.
Bayern winning the ‘15 Breeders’ Cup Classic
Commissioner, sixth in the Arkansas Derby, ran second in the $1.5 million Belmont (G1) and won graded three
stakes in 2015.
2013 (OVERANALYZE)
2015 (AMERICAN PHAROAH)
American Pharoah became the third Arkansas Derby winner to capture the Kentucky Derby, seventh to capture
the Preakness and fourth to capture the Belmont Stakes. In other words, American Pharoah did what Smarty
Jones, Afleet Alex and Curlin couldn’t – win the Triple Crown.
American Pharoah (pictured left) became the 12th Triple Crown winner,
and first since Affirmed in 1978, with a front-running 5 ½-length victory in
the $1.5 million Belmont (G1) at Belmont Park, a result that landed the
flashy bay colt on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
The champion also became the third Arkansas Derby winner to capture
the Breeders’ Cup Classic, following Concern in 1994 and Curlin in 2007,
and retired with nine victories from 11 starts and earnings of $8,650,300
(fourth-highest total for a North American-based horse).
Perennial bridesmaid Mr. Z, third in the Arkansas Derby, surpassed $1 million in career earnings before winning
the $500,000 Ohio Derby at ThistleDown.
After finishing fourth in the Arkansas Derby, Madefromlucky won the $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes (G2) at Belmont Park and the $750,000 West Virginia Derby (G2) at Mountaineer.

Zayat Stables’ Rebel Stakes winning American
Pharoah returned to Oaklawn and is even more
impressive in the Arkansas Derby. He would go on to
also win his next three starts in the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the first
Triple Crown winner in 37 years and just the 12th in
history. He ended the year by completing the “Grand
Slam” with a triumphant career finale in the $5
