Venue: Oaklawn Park, 2705 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, Arkansas 71901.
Nestled in the scenic Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas, this historic one-mile dirt oval is renowned for its lightning-fast surface, which consistently produces stakes-record times in sprints like this 6-furlong dash. The track’s speed bias favors forward runners and inside posts, especially under the winter sun.
Scheduled Post Time: 4:07 PM Central Time (CT). The 10-race card gets underway at 12:30 PM CT, with this Arkansas-bred fillies and mares sprint serving as the late-afternoon stakes highlight. Purse: $150,000 Guaranteed.
Race Conditions: For fillies and mares, three years old and upward, which were bred in Arkansas and qualify under rules governing same. Weight: 119 lbs. for 3yo, 119 lbs. for 4yo and up; non-winners of two races other than maiden, claiming, or starter since October 9, 2025, allowed 4 lbs. Distance: 6 furlongs on the main dirt track.
Expected Track Conditions: Fast. Oaklawn’s main track has been consistently quick and speed-favoring throughout the meet, with inside posts and early pace playing to advantage at this distance. No significant precipitation recently, and the surface remains firm and true.

Full Field Analysis
PP 1: Street Painter (6YO Mare, Street Strategy – Paintergone, Trainer: Aaron Shorter, Jockey: Cristian A. Torres, 119 lbs.)
This veteran Arkansas-bred has been a reliable grinder at Oaklawn but is coming off a layoff. Last out: 4th in a 6f allowance optional claiming on Jan. 18 (98 fig), closing from mid-pack after a wide trip. She’s won twice at the track in 2025 but lacks the class of the top two. Shorter is a 14% trainer locally, and Torres is solid (18% wins), but the rail might trap her if the pace is hot. Longshot play at best.
PP 2: Hush It Honey (5YO Mare, Too Much Bling – Waters Fine, Trainer: Randy L. Morse, Jockey: Rafael Bejarano, 119 lbs.)
A local speed type with strong Oaklawn ties. Recent finishes: Sharp 2nd in the $150,000 Ozark S. here on Feb. 16 (111 fig), just caught late; before that, a dominant allowance win at 6f on Jan. 10. Morse is a meet standout (22% wins) with these types, and Bejarano (top-5 jockey) knows the track inside-out. Post 2 is ideal for her pressing style—major contender if Haulin Ice falters.
PP 3: Arr Piratetreasure (5YO Mare, Palace Malice – Thatbossanovasound, Trainer: Steven M. Asmussen, Jockey: Erik Asmussen, 119 lbs.)
From the powerhouse Asmussen barn, but overmatched lately. Last: 6th in a 6f allowance on Feb. 7 (103 fig), never a factor. Prior: 3rd at Delta Downs in December. Asmussen is the leading trainer at Oaklawn (28% wins), but this one needs a career-best to threaten. Erik Asmussen rides regularly for dad—mid-pack at best.
PP 4: She’s a Dreamer (4YO Filly, Gentlemen’s Bet – Bean Peaceful, Trainer: Terry Eoff, Jockey: David Cabrera, 119 lbs.)
Lightly raced but showing flashes. Recent: 3rd in a 6f claiming race on Jan. 30 (83 fig), wide throughout. Has a win at Oaklawn earlier this meet but steps up in class here. Eoff (15% local) and Cabrera (hot rider) make her intriguing at a price, but post 4 forces a wide trip.
PP 5: Caliente Star (4YO Filly, Tapiture – Caliente Candy, Trainer: Ron Moquett, Jockey: Luis Saez, 119 lbs.)
Tactical Arkansas-bred with upside. Last out: 2nd in a 6f allowance on Feb. 11 (103 fig), just missed after a stalking trip. Moquett is a 20% trainer at the meet, and Saez is elite (25% wins). Post 5 suits her mid-pack style—solid underneath in exotics.
PP 6: Morally Complex (4YO Filly, Complexity – Afillyation, Trainer: Ronald L. Westermann, Jockey: Serafin Carmona, 119 lbs.)
Blinkers on for the first time after a poor showing. Recent: 7th in a 6f allowance on Jan. 25 (53 fig), slow start. Westermann is 12% locally, Carmona capable but this one figures as a deep closer longshot.
PP 7: Ministry’s Destiny (4YO Filly, Hamazing Destiny – Ministry, Trainer: Jaime N. Gonzalez, Jockey: Tyler W. Bacon, 119 lbs.)
Improving but unproven in stakes. Last: 5th in a 6f allowance optional claiming on Feb. 14 (75 fig), rallied late. Gonzalez hits 16% at Oaklawn, Bacon steady. Wide post hurts, but could pick up pieces late at a price.
PP 8: Haulin Ice (5YO Mare, Coal Front – She’s Smoke, Trainer: Saffie A. Joseph, Jr., Jockey: Francisco Arrieta, 119 lbs.)
The superstar and overwhelming favorite. Blistering recent form: Dominant 1st in the $200,000 Princess Rooney S. (G3) at Gulfstream on Sept. 20 (record fig); before that, record-setting 6-length win in this race last year. She’s the leading AR-bred earner ever and thrives at Oaklawn (6-for-8 here). Joseph (25% wins) ships her in perfectly, and Arrieta has won big with her. Post 8 is wide, but her class and speed should make her unstoppable. The one to beat.
PP 9: Ms Carroll County (6YO Mare, Cinco Charlie – Valiant Reason, Trainer: Tim Dixon, Jockey: Kelsi Harr, 116 lbs.)
Veteran closer with heart. Recent: 4th in a 6f allowance on Feb. 7 (90 fig), closing from last. Dixon (18% local) and apprentice Harr (light weight) give her a shot, but the far outside post in a speed-favoring race is tough. Exotics filler.
