Hits Pricey Legacy Gives Trout Another Stakes Win In Slide Show

When Hits Pricey Legacy hit the wire 5-1/4 lengths in front in the $75,000 Slide Show Stakes on Friday at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Okla. The victory gave owner-trainer-breeder C.R. Trout his second stakes win of the night.

Jockey Richard Eramia gave Trout, an Edmond, Okla., resident, his first of the night aboard Fast Breakin Cash in the $70,000 Silver Goblin Stakes. Jockey Jose Alvarez was aboard Hits Pricey Legacy for her victory in the Slide Show. She went off the second favorite in the race at 6-5 odds.

Morning Twilight, a $310,000 purchase by West Point Thoroughbreds at the Ocala Breeders Sale in Florida this year, was sent off as the 4-5 wagering favorite after beating Hits Pricey Legacy by 7-1/2 lengths at six furlongs in the $100,000 Oklahoma Classics Lassie on Oct. 15. The extra distance, stretching to a mile for the Slide Show and another race under her belt, gave Hits Pricey Legacy the edge she needed to shine.

Morning Twilight was 1-3/4 lengths ahead of third-place finisher Circle Back Girl (18-1). Hits Pricey Legacy paid $4.60 to win, $2.40 to place, and $2.10 to show. She is a juvenile daughter of Den's Legacy, out of the Concord Point mare High Price Hit, and a Trout homebred.

Alvarez kept Hits Pricey Legacy in mid-pack in the early going and took over dominantly at the top of the stretch, ahead by two lengths. She then pulled away without much asking to score the one mile in 1:40.34 over a fast track.

Hits Pricey Legacy earned $45,000 for the trip to the winner's circle and she improved to four starts with two wins and two seconds. Her bankroll bulged to $97,255. It was the first win in the Slide Show stakes for all the connections.

The Slide Show is named in honor of the Oklahoma-bred filly who was near perfect in her career at Remington Park, winning 11 consecutive starts from 1993 to 1995, eight of them stakes events. Her only local defeat came in her final start, when she was third in an allowance event.

The early fractions for the mile race were :24.84 for the quarter-mile, :49.97 for the half-mile, 1:15.71 for three-quarters of a mile, and 1:28.02 for seven eighths. In her four starts, Hits Pricey Legacy broke her maiden on Aug. 27 at first asking at Remington Park. She then was the bridesmaid in the $50,000 E.L. Gaylord Memorial Stakes on Sept. 26 and in the $100,000 Oklahoma Classics Lassie.

Remington Park racing concludes this week with a Saturday night card of nine races. First post time is 7:07 pm Central.

Seven Set For German Finale

In the absence of lone filly Nastaria (GB) (Outstrip {GB}), seven colts will head postward for Sunday's Grosser Preis der Wohnstatte Krefeld Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen at Krefeld, Germany's final pattern race of the year and won last year by subsequent G2 German 2000 Guineas hero Mythico (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}). Holger Renz's Tunnes (Ger) (Guiliani {Ire}) went straight to the top of ante-post lists for next term's G1 Deutsches Derby in the aftermath of a three-length victory at Cologne last month and the €38,000 BBAG yearling is a half-brother to MG1SW G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero and G1 Deutsches Derby runner-up Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). His chief rivals include Gestut Ebbesloh's unbeaten winner of two Georgios (Ger) (Poet's Voice {GB}), who comes back off a win in Baden-Baden's €200,000 Ferdinand Leisten-Memorial, and Gestut Rottgen's Dusseldorf maiden scorer Ariolo (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}), who will head postward coming back off a second in Dusseldorf's Listed Junioren-Preis and a fourth in last month's G3 Presis des Winterfavoriten at Cologne. Gestut Ittlingen's Lavello (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}) ran fifth in the Junioren-Preis and followed up with a comfortable maiden score, defeating Jaber Abdullah's Andreas Wohler trainee Maraseem (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}), at Baden-Baden last month. The other contenders are Gestut Auenquelle's once-raced Dapango (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), who shed maiden status by four lengths at Hoppegarten on Arc day, and Eckhard Sauren's Hannover maiden winner Magical Beat (Ger) (Lope de Vega {Ire}).

Rowdy Rascal Best In Don C. McNeill Stakes At Remington Park

Rowdy Rascal was full of run Friday night, winning the $75,000 Don C. McNeill Stakes but his owners said that wasn't what he was full of when he was a foal.

“When he was two days old, he was all over his stall and his mother was beside herself,” said owner Theresa Moore of JT Stables of Springdale, Ark. “My dad saw him and said, 'Man, he's a rowdy rascal!' And there you have it.”

Even now, winning the Don McNeill and the $100,000 Oklahoma Classics Juvenile at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Okla., trainer Boyd “Jobe” Caster says he isn't anywhere near his peak ability because of his rowdiness.

“If he ever takes racing seriously, no telling what he will be able to do,” said Caster. “He is what he is. This is still a game to him. He's so immature. But he should be a nice 3-year-old. He is what he is.”

What he is is a multiple stakes winner and jockey Freddy Manrrique and Caster put him in the category of a possible $400,000 Springboard Mile candidate at the end of the meet, Dec. 17.

“Mr. Caster thinks he is the best 2-year-old at Remington Park,” said Manrrique. “We work hard every morning. I was confident, but he is just a baby. I have to let him know I'm there if he needs me (during the race). He was getting out a little so I had to remind him.”

Rowdy Rascal, a juvenile gelding by Den's Legacy, out of the Affirmatif mare Dancing Diva, earned $45,000 for the victory and is showing the same kind of bloodlines his dam (mother) had.

“We campaigned the mom and she was a champion sprinter in Oklahoma,” said Moore. “We bred her to Den's Legacy to try to get more distance and he's showing it was a good idea.”

Rowdy Rascal covered the one mile in 1:40.38 over the fast track after sitting mid-pack throughout the first half-mile. He came flying on the outside at the top of the lane and gained a one-length lead quickly that turned into three lengths at the wire. He went off as the 7-5 betting favorite and paid $4.80 to win, $3 to place, and $2.40 to show.

Rowdy Rascal improved his record to six starts, three wins, and one second for a bankroll of $132,859. Showing his adolescent side, he didn't win the first race of his career until his fourth attempt, on Sept. 18 this meet at Remington Park. He has won three in a row, including that maiden victory, increasing his speed and endurance with each race. He ran second to Cuatro Madres in a maiden event here on Aug. 28, but Friday night, Rowdy Rascal beat that horse by three lengths. Cuatro Madres (2-1) got up for second, 4-1/4 lengths in front of third-place finisher Beckett's Luckyday (10-1).

The fractions for the race were :24.10 for the first quarter-mile, :48.97 for the half-mile, 1:14.34 for three-quarters of a mile, and 1:27.17 for seven-eighths of a mile.

The score for Rowdy Rascal gives his connections their first triumph in the Don McNeill Stakes. The race is named in honor of the late Don McNeill. The owner and breeder who was so prominent in Oklahoma-bred racing, represented by many talented horses including top Oklahoma-breds Clever Trevor and Mr. Ross, as well as 2011 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Caleb's Posse. McNeill passed in 2015.

Remington Park racing concludes this week with a Saturday night card of nine races. First post time is 7:07 pm Central.

Fast Breakin Cash Finds Winner’s Circle In Silver Goblin At Remington Park

For the first time since 2017, there is a Silver Goblin Stakes winner not named Welder and it is Fast Breakin Cash at 9-1 odds Friday night at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Okla.

Welder won the race four times from 2017-2020 for Ra-Max Farms (Clayton Rash) of Claremore, Okla., and is now retired, getting fed peppermints by trainer Teri Luneack. The stakes races he won regularly for years at Remington Park now continue without him. It was far from the odds-on favoritism Welder garnered as the all-time winningest horse (16 wins) at Remington Park in the winner's circle. One has to go all the way back to Okie Ride in 2016 for a different winner.

Fast Breakin Cash had not won a race, any race, since Nov. 7, 2019, and had never won a stakes race in his career. In contrast, Welder holds the record at Remington Park with 11 stakes victories in his career.

It was almost like the favorites in this $70,000 Silver Goblin Stakes race didn't know how to act without Welder to chase. The top three favorites in the field ran last, next-to-last and second-to-last in this year's edition. Shannon C, the beaten wagering favorite at 8-5 odds, who had run second to Welder four times in his career, was expected to take the crown Friday after winning two stakes in a row. However, he faltered after a half mile and ran last, beaten 15-1/2 lengths. Quality Rocket (2-1) and Mesa Moon (5-2) finished fourth and fifth.

With the favorites falling to the wayside, it opened the door for Fast Breakin Cash to taste the glory of a black-type win for the first time. Jockey Richard Eramia was well back in fifth down the backstretch, leisurely letting the front-runners set fractions of :22.14 for the first quarter-mile and :45.33 for the half-mile. By the time the pacesetters began to collapse at the top of the stretch, Fast Breakin Cash, trained by C.R. Trout, pounced. He was within a 3-1/4 lengths by the time he hit the turn for home and had all the momentum. At the finish line, he was in front by three-quarters of a length, outlasting runner-up Euromantic (6-1), who was another three-quarters up on third-place Tommyhawk (32-1), the longest shot on the board. Fast Breakin Cash hit the line for 6-1/2 furlongs in 1:17.88 over a fast track.

“It was a beautiful trip,” said Eramia. “I knew exactly what I wanted to do before the race. Make one run at the end. He wanted to win so bad.”

Trout also owns and bred Fast Breakin Cash. He won two of the three stakes races on the Friday card, also taking the $75,000 Slide Show for 2-year-old fillies that were Oklahoma-foaled with Hits Pricey Legacy.

It was the first victory in the Silver Goblin Stakes for all the connections. Fast Breakin Cash, a 5-year-old gelded son of Yes It's True, out of the Forestry mare Fast N Fine Lookin, earned $42,000 for Trout and improved his record to 22 starts, four wins, six seconds and two thirds for $265,293 earned. His best stakes effort at Remington Park before Friday night may have been a runner-up finish by one length to Dont Tell Noobody in last year's $175,000 Oklahoma Classics Cup on Oct. 16.

Fast Breakin Cash rewarded his backers with $20.60 to win, $8.60 to place, and $5.60 to show. Euromantic paid $6.60 to place and $4.80 to show. Tommyhawk paid $6.20 to show.

The Silver Goblin Stakes is named after the gray Oklahoma-bred millionaire who won multiple stakes races at Remington Park and numerous graded stakes events around the nation, in a career spanning 1993-1999.

Remington Park racing concludes this week with a Saturday night card of nine races. First post time is 7:07 pm Central.
