  • Floridaf · I would not be surprised if they did since Now I Know is being pointed toward the major races for fillies at Oaklawn. I don't think they could avoid each other unless one of them shipped to a different track. As much as I admire On Fire Baby, I think Now I Know would come out on top. · 468 days ago ·

  • travel_vic · From an ESPN article: "At Oaklawn Park, there will never be a Cougar Day, a Mike vs. Chantal match race, or an advertising campaign featuring exotic dancers; there will never be night racing, or camel racing or ostrich racing.

  • 12thCrown · Not sure how many of you frequent Oaklawn, so while there won't be a "Cougar Day" per se, there are plenty of eligible ladies and dudes hanging around the second level sports bar.
