27-year-old Hunter Oakes is having great regional success on the racetrack, but he’s hoping that the colt he scouted out and bought last fall will take him to a higher level. It might be a lot to ask of an untested horse and his young trainer, but Hunter has been through a lot more than most in the past five or six years, and he’s as determined as ever just to keep marching forward, while making a name for himself - regardless of what his last name is.
