Fresh off wins astride Abramax on Wednesday and Belfast Boy on Thursday, jockey Rocco Bowen goes into today’s Oaklawn Park meet final day looking to finish strong in the feature US$300 000 Oaklawn Stakes astride Causeway Jones in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Rounding into his best form of late, Bowen booted the four-year chestnut filly Abramax in Race 4, a Claiming six-furlong sprint.
