SOUTHLAND'S 2016 RAZORBACK CLASSIC STAKES FINALS set to run on Saturday, June 4

The finals are set for the 2016 SOUTHLAND RAZORBACK CLASSIC STAKES and will be the 10th race on Saturday evening, June 4. An extremely talented field of 96 greyhounds were entered in this very competitive distance course stakes competition and after 4 very tough rounds, the final 8 greyhounds are ready to make their bid for stakes champion. It should be one heck of a battle with the heavyweights going paw to paw in search of the much respected title. There is also the Consolation race which will be the 8th race of the program and it too promises to be a barnburner. Listed below are my 8 original picks to make the finals along with a longshot pick. As you can see, of the 8 picks I selected, I had two to make the finals. Oshkosh Kid & Mega Revelation will be starting from the outside boxes and both have a solid shot at being the winner. In fact, Oshkosh Kid was my pick to win the title before the stakes competition started and I am sticking with him here even though the 7 box may make it tougher for him. I did have 4 picks make the consolation race and while the finals naturally will have the most interest, the consolation race will certainly be one to watch. Best of luck to all the greyhounds and their owners, kennels and all others associated with them. Thanks for reading and good luck with your wagers.
