Far Right
Grade III winner Far Right is scheduled to make his 4-year-old debut Jan. 28 at Oaklawn Park in a third-level allowance/optional claiming race for older horses at a mile.
Robert LaPenta and Harry Rosenblum's Far Right enjoyed success at Oaklawn last season, winning the Smarty Jones and Southwest Stakes (gr. III) there before finishing second to American Pharoah in the Arkansas Derby (gr. I).
Trained by Ron Moquett, Far Right then finished 15th in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). The son of Notional hasn't started since a sixth-place finish in the Indiana Derby (gr. II) July 18.
Moquett said in early December that he was pointing for Thursday's spot as Far Right's comeback race. He is scheduled to break from post 6 and be ridden for the first time by Didiel Osorio.
Probable post time for Thursday's ninth race is 5:10 p.m. CT.
