TACTICAL LANDING provided the quinella pair Jailbird Jog and Victoriana’s Secret in the inaugural edition of the $300,000 Oak Grove Trotting Oaks at Oak Grove Raceway, Kentucky on Saturday (May 16).
After settling down in seventh position, Jailbird Jog made her winning move in the third quarter, looping the field three-wide into third. Given full rein in the home straight, Jailbird Jog quickly gobbled up her rivals to score by 7-3/4 lengths in a equal lifetime best of 1:52.4.
Out of the Swedish mare Miss Don Fanucci, Jailbird Jog has won five of her 14 starts for $298,532 in stakes.
Earlier in the day, the TACTICAL LANDING filly Brattitude took out the $50,000 Bronze Consolation of the Oaks in 1:54.4.
“I put her in gear in the backstretch and she’s just a super nice filly; she’s very unassuming. When you look at her, you’d never think she’s that fast, but she’s crazy fast,” driver Anthony MacDonald said.
TACTICAL LANDING sits third in this season’s three-year-old sires’ premiership.
