After a dynamite second-place finish in the Honeybee Stakes (G3) on March 1, Counting Stars will battle today at Oaklawn Park for $1-million and a berth in the Kentucky Oaks, taking on 4 rivals in the Fantasy Stakes (G2).
An OBS 2-year-old acquisition last spring, Counting Stars is a double stakes winner and she owns 25 qualifying points for the Kentucky Oaks. Francisco Arrieta has been her regular jockey in four starts at Oaklawn, and they will break from post 3 in the Fantasy for Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse.
