Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 27 Journalists Share Posted April 27 The strongest 3-year-old male sprinter in Hot Springs, Valentine Candy (Justify–Taste Like Candy, Candy Ride {Arg}) won the fourth stakes race of the Oaklawn meet when he netted the Bachelor S. on Saturday afternoon. With stakes scores in his ledger–including the Advent, Renaissance and Ozark–the colt went off as the 7-5 favorite here. Tracking Frost Free (Frosted) from the bell and around the far turn, it looked as though the Steve Asmussen trainee was in trouble. However, in deep stretch he kept finding and in the end it was enough to get the job done over his target. The final running time was 1:10.18. This was his trainer's ninth victory in the Bachelor S. Lifetime Record: 9-5-1-1. Sales History: $250,000 '22 FTKOCT. O-L. William Heiligbrodt, Corinne Heiligbrodt, Jackpot Farm, Whispering Oaks Farm LLC and Coteau Grove Farms LLC; B-Pine Creek LP; T-Steve Asmussen.
