Sheer Joy won the second race at Oaklawn Park on Friday and has been named the agameofskill.com Claimer of the Week. The chestnut mare raced in mid-pack most of the 6 furlongs and made her move when entering the stretch. She wore down the opposition and took the lead just past the furlong pole and recorded a victory of 2 lengths in the $5,000 claiming event. Ridden by Joshua Navarro, the 6 year old stopped the clock in 1:12.81 and returned a whopping $20.80 to her backers. The daughter of Gilded Time has now won 9 times in her career and is owned and trained by John E. Cox. After 31 lifetime races she has earned over $63,000 and finished in the money 19 times.
