The next three Oaks points races take place this weekend, with each awarding 50 points to the winner.

Busher Invitational (3-7-20)

Lake Avenue & Maedean finished 1-2 in the Demoiselle (G2) late last year, and they meet again in this one mile spot. The former is the even money favorite with speed, and the latter packs a decent stretch kick.

Honeybee Stakes (3-7-20)

This race has upset potential. There is not much pace on paper and Ring Leader is probably the one to catch. Alta’s Award is improving and figures to stalk and pounce, and Motu and Turtle Trax will try to get involved late.
