Sheltowee’s Boy Impresses in Oaklawn Allowance

8th-OPX, $58,000, Alw, NW1X, 3yo, 1m, 1:40, ft. 
SHELTOWEE’S BOY (g, 3, Nobiz Like Shobiz–Miss Sheltowee, by Najran) drilled a field of Indiana Downs maidens by 6 1/2 lengths Sept. 30, but was no better than fourth in a first-level allowance over the Churchill turf Nov. 21. The dark bay rounded out the exacta underneath Bourbonize (Tiz Wonderful) going this distance in the slop Jan. 10 and was a 5-1 gamble in this spot. Outsprinted and three wide into the clubhouse turn, Sheltowee’s Boy raced in the latter third of the field behind a swift early pace. He launched a big move while deep on the second turn, hit the front turning for home and held off a late run from Z Lucky (Zensational) to take it by 3/4 of a length. Lifetime Record: 4-2-1-0, $69,151. Click for the brisnet.com chart or VIDEO.
