This weekend, Chicago Railbird flies south again, this time for the King Cotton Stakes at Oaklawn.
In true Chicago Railbird fashion, I take a look at Illinois-breds who have done well in the race in the past. I also take a detailed look at tomorrow’s renewal of the King Cotton. The race drew a field of eight. Two of the runners were bred in Illinois — and one has a very good chance of becoming the second Illinois-bred to get his picture taken after the King Cotton.
Head over to ShapperDaCapper, read the latest Chicago Railbird, and get ready for tomorrow’s featured race at Oaklawn!
Blinkers Off 
I love Lewys Vaporizer! I saw him break his maiden at Hawthorne. I’m definitely not a sucker for big bays with chrome or anything https://www.flickr.com/photos/thinktank8326/16967757351/in/album-72157650414219535/
he’s gorgeous! i didn’t see his maiden win since it was on a weekday…but i did see him at Churchill, when he ran in that allowance on the Derby undercard. his blaze makes me so happy! i really like Santo Sanjur’s pose in that photo you posted. he’s like…”nope, i see no one anywhere nearby!”
