Kentucky Oaks 2022 Report: Nest Powers Away in Ashland Stakes
Kathleen O. proved that she was a legitimate Kentucky Oaks 2022 contender after winning for the fourth time in as many outings in the GP Oaks (G2) on April 2. In other Oaks points race action last weekend, Yuugiri wired the field in the Fantasy, and bomber Candy Raid rolled to a big victory in the Bourbonette Oaks. Not to be outdone, my top ranked Oaks contender Nest rolled home like a good thing in the Ashland (G1) at Keeneland on Friday, April 8.
Kentucky Oaks 2022 Points Race Results
GP Oaks (4-2-22) - Winner: Kathleen O. ($3.00)
Only six lined up in this 8.5f Oaks prep, and there was not much depth. Two horses took all the betting action and they dominated. Goddess of Fire got first run for Saez/Pletcher, but Kathleen O. made a strong wide run, swept past the aforementioned Pletcher trainee, and scored by an easy 2+ lengths. Goddess of Fire ran a winning race but just hooked a better rival while 17+ clear of show finisher Running Legacy. Amani’s Image, Blustery, and Cancel This also ran. The final time was 1:43.75.
Fantasy (4-2-22) - Winner: Yuugiri ($10.20)
This race lost much of its luster when Secret Oath opted for the Arkansas Derby (G1). Eda was the morning line favorite, but she came down with a fever and scratched. It appears as though there would be a contested pace, but Yuugiri got to the front and gamely held off stalker Beguine to score by a half-length. Bubble Rock stayed forward throughout and was best of the rest in 3rd. I Feel the Need, beaten favorite Dream Lith, Heartyconstitution, Mariah’s Fortune, and Magic Circle completed the order of finish. The final time was 1:43.65 and I seriously doubt we saw the Oaks winner in this watered down event.
Bourbonette Oaks (4-2-22) - Winner: Candy Raid ($106.60)
Bombs away in this all-weather Oaks prep at 8.5f. Twelve runners broke from the gate, and 52-1 longshot Candy Raid went last-to-first to win by a stunningly easy 4+ lengths for Bejarano/Keith D. Tap Dancing Lady finished in a dead-heat for 2nd with Florida shipper Catiche, and North County and Mrs. Barbara followed those two. Scholfmitz, beaten chalk Sandstone, Vergara, Heavenly Hellos, Let’s Be Clear, Red Hot Mama, and Champagne Poetry also ran. The finish time was 1:42.96.
Ashland (4-8-22) - Winner: Nest ($5.40)
My top ranked Oaks contender Nest glided across the wet fast footing in this 8.5f affair. Interstatedaydream beat Happy Soul to the front after the latter was bumped at the start. Those two were clear after a half-mile, but Nest was moving sweetly outside under Irad Ortiz Jr. Her rider knew it was a short stretch and needed to attack earlier, and did she ever. She sailed to the front and widened to score by 8+ lengths. Cocktail Moments rallied to nip Interstatedaydream for the runner-up spot, and they were clear of weakening stalker Awake At Midnyte. The rest were of no consequence including distance challenged Happy Soul. The final time was 1:44.16 and the winner is a solid Oaks win contender at a distance she should love.
