Naked And Famous is the type of horse that doesn’t take a lot of work to get ready to race, but she still surprised trainer Noel Daley with her track-record-setting seasonal debut on May 4 at Oak Grove Racing & Gaming in Kentucky.

Naked And Famous won her elimination of the inaugural Oak Grove Trotting Oaks, for 3-year-old fillies, in 1:51.2 with Todd McCarthy in the sulky. She was 7-1/2-lengths clear of runner-up Jailbird Jog, the 2-1 favorite, as she lowered the track mark for a sophomore trotting filly by two-fifths of a second.
