Wild Target raced mid-pack, advanced to challenge for the lead just before entering the stretch, and battled all the way down the lane to win by a neck in the first race at Oaklawn Park Friday afternoon. The dark bay gelding defeated $20,000 claimers in recording his sixth career victory and has been named the agameofskill.com Claimer of the Week. The 6 year old covered the 6 furlongs over a fast track in 1:10.84 and paid a handsome $21.80 to his supporters.
Wild Target was claimed earlier in the month by trainer Ingrid Mason, who removed the blinkers prior to his winning effort, and was ridden by Julio Felix. The son of Kafwain has finished in the money (top three finishers) in 19 of 34 races. Owned by the Little Bear Racing Stables, the grandson of A.P. Indy has accumulated $286,000 in his career.
