I was not very impressed by Old Fashioned’s win in the Southwest. I expected more from him as he had worked strongly in preparation for his sophomore debut.
Two races prior to the Southwest, Oaklawn ran a $30,000 claimer for older fillies and mares at the same one mile distance as the Southwest. Old Fashioned’s winning time was 1.76 seconds faster than that of the claiming race. Old Fashioned ran his final furlong in 13.18 seconds; the winning claimer ran her final furlong in 13.22 seconds. Old Fashioned was half a length off the lead with a quarter to run, and the final quarter mile in the Southwest was run in 26.37 seconds. The filly claimer was won in wire to wire fashion, with the final quarter going in 26.41 seconds.
