Star Filly Secret Oath Among Nine For Arkansas Derby
It's official. The girl will be taking on the boys for the first time in the $1.25 million Arkansas Derby (G1) at 1 1/8 miles April 2 at Oaklawn. Multiple stakes winner Secret Oath was among nine horses entered Sunday for the Arkansas Derby, which is Oaklawn's final major prep for the Kentucky Derby (G1). The Arkansas Derby will go as the 12th of 13 races, with probable post time 6:35 p.m. (CT). First post April 2 is noon. The Arkansas Derby will offer 170 points (100-40-20-10, respectively) to the top four finishers toward starting eligibility for the Kentucky Derby, which is limited to 20 starters. Secret Oath, who drew post 6, has dominated 3-year-old fillies at the 2021-2022 Oaklawn meeting, winning her three starts by a combined 23 lengths for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas and breeder/owner Briland Farm (Robert and Stacy Mitchell). After securing a spot in the Kentucky Oaks – the country's biggest race for 3-year-old fillies – with a 7 ½-length victory in the Honeybee Stakes (G3) Feb. 26, Lukas began targeting the Arkansas Derby, which he won in 1984 and 1985. Lukas won the 1984 Arkansas Derby with Althea, a week after she finished second in the Fantasy. Lukas finished third in the 1986 Arkansas Derby with another filly, Family Style, a week after she finished fourth in the Fantasy. Althea and Family Style were both Eclipse Award winners at 2. He won the 1985 edition with Tank's Prospect. The projected Arkansas Derby field from the rail out: Kavod, Mitchell Murrill to ride, 122 pounds; Chasing Time, Jose Lezcano, 122; Barber Road, Reylu Gutierrez, 122; Doppelganger, John Velazquez, 122; Un Ojo, Ramon Vazquez, 122; Secret Oath, Luis Contreras, 117; Ben Diesel, Jon Court, 122; Cyberknife, Florent Geroux, 122; and We the People, Flavien Prat, 122. Barber Road had his final workout for the Arkansas Derby over a fast track Sunday morning for trainer John Ortiz. Barber Road breezed after the surface renovation break, covering a half-mile in :49.40 under exercise rider Elexander Aguilar. Clockers caught Barber Road in :25.20 for his opening quarter and galloping out 5 furlongs in 1:01.80. Barber Road worked by himself Sunday after breezing in company leading up to his prior starts this year. “We were just doing maintenance work with him,” Ortiz said. “He's more than fit. He's run over this course three times already. We drilled him pretty hard going into his last race. We know he can get the distance; we know he's fit as can be and there nothing else that I can do, except to just keep him happy and on his toes. It's funny. Turning him around to go to his workout, he gave us a little Lipizzan leap in front of the grandstand. So, he's on his toes.” Barber Road, who races for former Walmart executive William Simon, was breezing for the second time since finishing third, beaten a half-length, in the $1 million Rebel Stakes (G2) at 1 1/16 miles Feb. 26. The Rebel was Oaklawn's final major prep for the Arkansas Derby. The consistent Barber Road finished second in Oaklawn's first two Kentucky Derby points races – $250,000 Smarty Jones Stakes at 1 mile Jan. 1 and $750,000 Southwest Stakes (G3) at 1 1/16 miles Jan. 29 – and has never finished worse than fourth in his seven-race career. Barber Road ranks 17th on the Kentucky Derby leaderboard with 18 points, according to Churchill Downs. A top four finish in the Arkansas Derby likely would secure Barber Road a spot in the Kentucky Derby. Also returning from the Rebel are Un Ojo, Kavod, Chasing Time and Ben Diesel, the 1-4-5-8 finishers, respectively, while We the People is unbeaten in two career starts at the meeting for trainer Rodolphe Brisset. Cyberknife was a sharp allowance winner Feb. 19 at Fair Grounds in his last start for two-time reigning Eclipse Award winner Brad Cox. The Southern California-based Doppelganger had been with Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert – a four-time Arkansas Derby winner – before being moved earlier this week to Tim Yakteen, a former assistant. Doppelganger exits a runner-up finish in his two-turn debut, the $400,000 San Felipe Stakes (G2), March 5 at Santa Anita. Call Me Jamal, a two-time winner at the 2021-2022 Oaklawn meeting, wasn't entered in the Arkansas Derby after emerging from a 6-furlong work Sunday morning with a physical issue.

Arkansas Derby 20221. Kavod (15-1 – Lea – Chris Hartman / Mitchell Murrill – 12: 3-1-0 - $343,000 – 7 Derby points) Kavod is the most experienced 3-year-old in this field with 12 starts, nine of which came last year. In 2022, he made all three starts on the Kentucky Derby trail at Oaklawn Park and ran fourth each time. In the Southwest (G3) and the Rebel (G2), he set the pace for six furlongs. Current trainer Chris Hartman claimed Kavod for $50,000 in November at Churchill Downs. The best that we can probably expect is another underneath finish. Blinkers come off. Toss. 2. Chasing Time (12-1 – Not This Time – Steve Asmussen / Jose Lezcano – 6: 2-2-0 - $209,460 – 0 Derby points) Chasing Time made the jump from an allowance victory at Oaklawn to the Rebel, where he ran in the second group of horses and did not advance beyond that position to finish fifth. Owned by the My Racehorse partnerships, he was a heavy favorite in all of his races except the Rebel. Those horses with so many microshare owners are usually heavily overbet. Toss. 3. Barber Road (6-1 – Race Day – John Ortiz / Reylu Gutierrez – 7: 2-3-1 - $400,720 – 18 Derby points) This one-time maiden claimer has been a consistent performer throughout his career, which includes top-three finishes in all three of the Oaklawn Derby trail races. He has gathered 18 points thus far and was third, just a half-length from the top spot, in the Rebel with a late rally. Use underneath. 4. Doppelganger (9-2 –Into Mischief – Tim Yakteen / John Velazquez – 3: 1-1-0 - $123,200 – 0 Derby points) Doppelganger recently was transferred from the barn of Bob Baffert to that of his former assistant trainer Tim Yakteen so that the horse can have a chance to earn Derby qualifying points. The son of Into Mischief began his career in December with a maiden win at Los Alamitos and then went to the San Vicente (G2) where he was fourth behind Forbidden Kingdom and Pinehurst. Last seen, Doppelganger was second in the San Felipe (G2), again behind Forbidden Kingdom but well ahead of the rest of the field. That performance gives him a chance in this field. He will race without blinkers for the first time. Win contender. 5. Un Ojo (6-1 – Laoban – Ricky Courville / Ramon Vasquez – 6: 2-2-0 - $776,321 – 54 Derby points) This New York-bred shocked the crowd at Oaklawn for the Rebel when got a rail trip and railed to win at odds of 75-1, getting his second victory in six starts. He was second in a strong edition of the Withers (G3) before that when racing behind Early Voting. Typically, those big long shots have trouble coming back to win another race on the Derby trail, although he certainly has appreciated the longer distances. Use underneath. 6. Secret Oath (5-2 – Arrogate – D. Wayne Lukas / Luis Contreras – 6: 4-0-1 - $465,167 – 0 Derby points, 60 Oaks points) Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has the filly in fabulous form with three open-length victories in a row, each time with a dazzling turn of foot down the stretch. Secret Oath has enough points to qualify for the Kentucky Oaks already, so Lukas will take on the boys to try to pick up enough points to get into the Kentucky Derby. Win or lose in the Arkansas Derby, she will have the same amount of time to prepare for those races on the first weekend in May as if she would if she faced the fillies instead. Top choice. 7. Ben Diesel (20-1 – Will Take Charge – Dallas Stewart / Jon Court – 5: 1-0-1 - $44,242 – 3 Derby points) After a debut win as a 2-year-old at Churchill Downs, this guy has been on the Derby trail four times, with his best result being a third in the Southwest. His most recent eighth in the Rebel was not encouraging, yet Dallas Stewart brings him back for another try. It is a big purse, so a board-hitting finish pays well. Toss. 8. Cyberknife (8-1 – Gun Runner – Brad Cox / Florent Geroux – 5: 2-2-0 - $110,000 – 0 Derby points) Eclipse Award-winning trainer Brad Cox has been out of the Kentucky Derby spotlight this year with horses such as Cyberknife. He was a disappointing sixth in the Lecomte (G3) in January but came back with a visually impressive three-length allowance win at Fair Grounds in February. Odds here might be untypically high for a Cox runner. Live long shot. 9. We the People (7-2 – Constitution – Rodolphe Brisset / Flavien Prat – 2: 2-0-0 - $114,000 – 0 Derby points) This son of Constitution is unbeaten after two starts at Oaklawn, with his maiden winner in February going a mile and then an allowance by five lengths as the odds-on favorite. There is plenty to like from those initial races, where he pressed the pace. In today’s run-up to the Kentucky Derby he has certainly earned a shot to see if he can qualify for the big race. Promising newcomer.

Four horses who hit the board in major prep races Saturday clinched their places in Kentucky Derby 2022. White Abarrio from the Florida Derby (G1), Tiz the Bomb from the Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3) and Cyberknife from the Arkansas Derby (G1) literally won their way in. Allowance winner Barber Road, whose second-place finish in the Arkansas Derby put him in the money for the third time in an Oaklawn prep, also assured himself of a place in Churchill Downs’ 20-horse starting gate May 7. Although he finished third as the favorite in the Florida Derby, Simplification already had enough points to make it to Louisville. Charge It and Tawny Port, runners-up Saturday in the Florida Derby and Jeff Ruby Steaks, respectively, made their first appearances on the qualifying ladder. With 40 points each, they are on what may be the cut line after next week’s final major preps. With at least 50 points each, 12 horses have been assured of Derby invitations. Since Saturday brings the last three 100-40-20-10 preps – the Wood Memorial (G2), the Blue Grass (G1) and the Santa Anita Derby (G1) – as many as six horses not already in the top 20 could jump into the mix by finishing first or second. Another 13 horses are mathematically within reach of the 40-point threshold if they were to finish third or fourth in one of the last major preps. Although not all of them will be entered for Saturday’s races, there still could be a logjam at 40, meaning stakes-earnings tiebreakers could be invoked. The Lexington Stakes (G3), the 20-8-4-2 finale to the points preps, could be used April 16 at Keeneland as a final top-up for horses on the qualifying bubble.
