Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 21, 2022 Journalists Posted April 21, 2022 Freshman sire McCraken (Ghostzapper) got off the mark with his first winner at Keeneland Thursday. Drawn widest of all, Crackalacking (f, 2, McCraken–Sacred Moon, by Malibu Moon) forced the issue from an outside third, gained command around the far turn and blew the race apart from there to graduate by five lengths at odds of 18-1. Extremely well-backed, rail-drawn firster Grand Oak (Ire) (Speightstown), off as the even-money favorite from a 6-1 morning-line quote for trainer Rusty Arnold, was a good second after a tough trip. It was the first career wins at Keeneland for winning jockey Ferrin Peterson and trainer Sarah Hamilton, respectively. McCraken, a three-time graded winner and runner-up in the GI betfair.com Haskell Invitational S., stands for $5,000 at Airdrie Stud, Midway, Ky. Sales history: $15,000 yrl '21 KEEJAN; $20,000 yrl '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Randy Finegan; B-Mullikin Thoroughbreds (Ky); T-Sarah Hamilton.
