ARKANSAS IN THE HOUSE! “The Claiming Crown is a fantastic venue for these horses from around the country to compete on a national stage and we’re proud to have a @RonMoquett-trained and @OaklawnRacing-based horse represented here,” says EXPECT THE BEST co-owner Chris Monroe.
If you are attending Claiming Crown and you hear the Arkansas Razorbacks 🐗Hog Call coming from the stands during The Jewel, it is likely emanating from the ownership group of the 4yo Khozan gelding with Rafael Bejarano aboard!
Referred to by Ron as “the Arkansas Group,” this tight-knit partnership of five hails from Texas, Montana, Louisiana and Arkansas. But it’s their college connection that keeps them bonded. Out of the five partners, four (and their wives) attended the University of Arkansas. Extending the fun to the next generation, the group collectively has 7 sons, ALSO Arkansas alumni!
🤜As for the Claiming Crown, Monroe says “The group is flattered to be included. Acquiring horses by claim is similar to colleges athletes in the transfer portal and it’s a blast to see them run back with have success with a new trainer.”

Why I like Oaklawn Park
1) Arkansas only track in the state
2) highest purses of the winter meet and field sizes
3) best horses that raced in the past
4) top class racing and Derby Preps
5) big crowds and fan atmosphere
6) $400M in All Sources Handle since
7) 68 Days a year

What an absolutely sensational performance from Hymn! 🎶🏆
The Oaklawn allowance winner displayed tremendous speed, determination and heart in the Grade 1 $500,000 Forego Stakes at Saratoga, pressing a swift pace before powering to the front and holding off a furious late challenge to earn the biggest victory of his career!
The outstanding performance marked Hymn’s first Grade 1 triumph and secured a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.
Congratulations to trainer Ron Moquett, jockey Ricardo Santana Jr., owners Fleur De Lis Stables, William Sparks and Bret Jones, and all the connections of Oaklawn’s newest Grade 1 winner! 📸 credit: Ron Moquett

400 times in the Oaklawn winner’s circle. Congratulations to trainer Ron Moquett on earning his 400th career Oaklawn victory yesterday with Sinner’s Sin on the final day of the 2025–2026 race meet. From his first Hot Springs win in 1999 to Oaklawn standouts like Whitmore and Far Right, Ron’s legacy here runs deep.
Congratulations to Ron and the Moquett Racing team on a remarkable Oaklawn achievement 🏇

Yesterday, @davidbazzel took a moment to honor members of the Little Rock Touchdown Club family we’ve lost this past year. We are grateful for their impact, their presence, and the memories they leave behind. They will be deeply missed.
