Check out my Thursday (4-24-25) Oaklawn Race 9 analysis below.

OP 9 (Str-Alw-35k, 4&up, 8f dirt) – Post Time  5:40 PM ET
Primary – #9 SANTOS DUMONT, #1 Golden Glider
Secondary – #5 American Law, #8 Auto Gilde

Horse Comments:

#9 Santos Dumont (7-2) exits a clear runner-up finish in a local $35k sprint and Asmussen claimed him that day. He stretches back out in his second start after a long layoff. He owns early-pressing versatility. 

#1 Golden Gilder (3-1) was second in a local dirt route March 9 and the winner returned to score. He projects a ground saving stalking trip. 

#5 American Law (4-1) was part of the trifecta in his last three routes and Morse claimed him last time. A stalking trip is expected. 

#8 Auto Guide (8-1) fired trifecta shots in nine of his last ten starts.  

Wagers:
