Remington Park presents a competitive nine-race card for Saturday evening racing. The evening program features a diverse mix of maiden claiming, claiming, and allowance races with purses ranging from $11,000 to $40,000. The card showcases Oklahoma-bred restricted races alongside open company contests.
Track action has been solid throughout the current meet, with Hall of Fame trainer Steven M. Asmussen dominating the standings with 53 wins from 207 starts and over $1.5 million in earnings. Ramon Vazquez leads the jockey colony with 61 victories and maintains a commanding 29% win rate. The track has produced competitive racing with balanced results across various post positions and running styles.
The evening card begins at 6:00 PM Central Time and concludes around 9:44 PM. Several scratches were noted on the official scratch watch, including Pea Eye and Stepbrotheraustin from Race 1, Eskenforaraise from Race 7, Plausible Denile from Race 8, and Cashout Carol from Race 9.
Weather and Track Conditions
Saturday’s forecast calls for mostly cloudy conditions with temperatures around 62-63 degrees Fahrenheit during racing hours, dropping to the low 40s after sunset. Winds from the northwest at 9 mph should have minimal impact on racing. Precipitation chances stand at approximately 14%, with no significant weather expected to impact the racing surface.
The main dirt track is expected to be listed as fast, which has been the standard condition throughout the current meet. Remington Park’s one-mile oval typically maintains excellent drainage and consistent racing surfaces. The fast track should favor horses with tactical speed who can secure good position early without engaging in prolonged speed duels.
Track Bias and Post Position Statistics
Remington Park’s one-mile dirt configuration shows distinct post position preferences depending on race distance. In sprint races at six furlongs or less, posts three, four, and seven produce the highest win percentages. Post four accounts for 26% of winners while post three generates 25% of victorious outcomes. Post five has proven notably challenging in sprints, contributing just 11% of winners.
For route races exceeding one mile, the bias shifts dramatically toward outside posts. Post ten shows a strong 35.5% strike rate when drawn, while inside posts struggle considerably in longer contests. The track layout favors horses establishing early position without engaging in speed duels, with front-runners achieving approximately 35% success rates over the mile distance.
The track’s configuration includes a relatively short stretch, making it challenging for deep closers to make up significant ground late. Between 2013-2016, wire-to-wire winners increased notably, with 35% of mile race victors making every call in 2014. This tendency continues to favor tactical speed over pure closing ability.
Race 1 – Maiden Claiming $7,500
Post Time: 6:00 PM
5 1/2 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $11,000, For Maidens 3-5 Years Old
Pace Analysis
This nine-horse maiden claiming sprint should develop into a contested pace scenario. Multiple horses show early speed inclinations, particularly Knock’em Out Jerry from post three and Fly Red Bird Fly from post eight. Six Iron also demonstrates tactical speed capabilities. The fractional pace should be honest without being suicidal, setting up a competitive stretch drive.
Key Contenders
Knock’em Out Jerry emerges as the consensus selection despite winless form. The five-year-old gelding by Maximum Security has shown consistent effort throughout the meet, recording multiple runner-up finishes at this level. Trainer Oscar Flores maintains a 15% strike rate with 13 wins from 90 starts, while jockey Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez brings solid form with 24 wins this meet. The gelding’s ability to rate off the pace and his established class at this level make him formidable. Post three provides an ideal setup, historically accounting for 25% of sprint winners at Remington Park.
Six Iron represents another logical contender from post six. The four-year-old has demonstrated competitive efforts in recent outings and benefits from Stewart Elliott’s services. Elliott ranks third in the current jockey standings with 33 wins and maintains strong familiarity with the Remington Park racing surface. The outside post provides flexibility in the running, allowing Elliott to assess early pace development.
Secondary Choices
Fly Red Bird Fly warrants consideration despite the outside post eight draw. The five-year-old by Early Flyer shows tactical speed and draws into a competitive maiden claiming level. Trainer Karen E. Jacks has 5 wins from 56 starts this meet, and jockey Santos Rivera brings experience to the assignment.
Wealth Management enters off a layoff for trainer Jerry Glen Stephens. The three-year-old gelding shows training patterns suggesting readiness, and post one provides a ground-saving journey. First-time starters from this barn merit respect when demonstrating solid workout patterns.
Selections
Win: Knock’em Out Jerry
Place: Six Iron
Show: Fly Red Bird Fly
Race 2 – Claiming $20,000 Oklahoma-Bred
Post Time: 6:28 PM
6 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $24,000, For Oklahoma-Bred 3YO+
Pace Analysis
This seven-horse Oklahoma-bred claiming sprint features several pace factors. Yougotthisjr shows consistent early positioning ability while Slades Tank demonstrates tactical speed. The pace should develop moderately, with multiple horses seeking forward position through the opening quarter. The honest early fractions should set up horses rating just off the pace for strong stretch runs.
Key Contenders
Yougotthisjr comes off a stunning 23-1 upset victory on October 10, winning a similar race by impressive margins. The three-year-old gelding by Bolt d’Oro demonstrated significant improvement in that effort for trainer Robbin Caldwell. With 2 wins from 14 starts, the gelding has found his niche at the claiming level. Jockey Alfredo Triana Jr. has 10 wins from 60 mounts this meet. The inside post three provides tactical flexibility.
Slades Tank represents the primary competition from post five. The three-year-old gelding finished a solid second to Yougotthisjr in their previous encounter on October 10. Trainer Miguel Angel Silva conditions this runner, who shows 2 wins from 6 career starts with a 33% strike rate. Valdez-Jiminez takes the mount, bringing his 24-win meet total to this assignment.
Secondary Choices
Sutter Bug from post one has shown flashes of ability with 2 wins from 7 starts. The three-year-old gelding by Scat Daddy recently broke through with a victory at the $10,000 claiming level on October 10. Trainer Tyrone Gleason sends out this runner with Jose L. Alvarez aboard, who has 20 wins this meet.
Norway Beach from the outside post seven brings experience with 2 wins from 17 career starts. Jockey Walter De La Cruz has demonstrated solid form with 3 wins from 25 mounts.

Race 3 – Maiden Claiming $30,000 Oklahoma-Bred Fillies
Post Time: 6:56 PM
6 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $27,000, For Oklahoma-Bred 2YO Fillies
Pace Analysis
This seven-horse juvenile filly maiden features several first-time starters alongside experienced maidens. Mo Ta shows clear early speed from her debut performance, while Brielle brings solid breeding suggesting forward positioning. The pace dynamics favor fillies demonstrating tactical speed and the ability to sustain their runs through the final furlong.
Key Contenders
Mo Ta dominates the consensus selections as the morning line favorite. The two-year-old daughter of Mo Town finished second in her debut after controlling the pace for much of the journey. Trainer Scott E. Young has 16 wins from 107 starts this meet, and the Wethey Jr.-Young combination has proven effective. Mo Ta’s race experience provides significant advantage over several first-time starters in this field.
Brielle enters from the outside post seven for successful trainer Jesse Oberlander. The two-year-old filly by Commissioner shows solid pedigree and draws David Cabrera, who ranks second in the current standings with 35 wins. Cabrera’s 17% strike rate and familiarity with Remington Park conditions enhance this filly’s chances significantly.
Secondary Choices
Braxton’s Girl from post three represents another Oberlander trainee. The filly by Practical Joke draws jockey Ezequiel Lara and benefits from favorable post three placement. First-time starters from this barn merit consideration when showing positive training patterns.
Avie Rae from post four could improve significantly in her second career start. The daughter of Maclean’s Music tired after a wide trip in her debut, suggesting improvement is likely with a cleaner journey.
Selections
Win: Mo Ta
Place: Brielle
Show: Braxton’s Girl
Race 4 – Maiden Claiming $10,000
Post Time: 7:24 PM
1 Mile 70 Yards Dirt, Purse $15,000, For 3-5YO Fillies and Mares
Pace Analysis
This ten-horse maiden claiming route features horses stretching out beyond sprint distances. The extended distance of one mile and seventy yards should favor fillies demonstrating stamina and ability to sustain runs through the final quarter-mile. Several entrants show sprint experience but lack proven route credentials, creating uncertainty in pace dynamics.
Key Contenders
Sanoviv emerges as a logical favorite from post two. The three-year-old filly by Dialed In makes her debut for trainer Jaime Castellanos with Alfredo Triana Jr. in the irons. The inside post provides tactical options in this route contest, allowing Triana to secure position without excessive energy expenditure early. Triana’s 17% win rate from 60 mounts demonstrates consistent competitiveness.
Movie Ticket from post six enters this spot after showing improvement in recent efforts. The three-year-old filly has competitive speed figures and benefits from Ramon Vazquez’s services. Vazquez leads all riders with 61 wins and maintains an impressive 29% strike rate. The leading rider’s aggressive tactics should suit this filly’s running style in route races.
Secondary Choices
Irish Writ brings the most experience to this contest with 25 career starts, though she remains winless. The five-year-old mare by Dialed In shows consistent placing efforts and could benefit from the route distance. Luis S. Quinonez takes the mount for trainer Marti L. Rodriguez.
Coded Kiss from post five represents a first-time starter with potential. The breeding suggests route capability, and trainer Jory Ferrell brings this filly to debut status at an extended distance.
Selections
Win: Sanoviv
Place: Movie Ticket
Show: Irish Writ
Race 5 – Claiming $10,000
Post Time: 7:52 PM
5 1/2 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $20,000, For Fillies and Mares 3YO+
Pace Analysis
This competitive ten-horse claiming sprint for fillies and mares presents multiple pace angles. Several entrants demonstrate early speed tendencies, including Cajun Ninja, Accelerate Judy, and Yvonne’s Miss. The pace scenario should develop into honest fractions that set up horses rating within striking distance for serious stretch bids.
Key Contenders
Cajun Ninja stands out as the consensus choice from post four. The five-year-old mare by Cajun Breeze shows the best recent speed figures in this field and benefits from Valdez-Jiminez’s riding. Trainer Oscar Flores maintains competitive form with 13 wins from 90 starts this meet. The middle post position provides tactical flexibility, and the mare’s proven ability at this class level makes her formidable.
Regal Rumor from post ten brings Ramon Vazquez to this assignment. The four-year-old filly by Bayern shows competitive efforts and benefits from the leading rider’s aggressive tactics. Trainer Austin Gustafson has 10 wins from 50 starts with a solid 20% strike rate. Despite the outside post, Vazquez’s skill at securing position should overcome the wide draw.
Secondary Choices
Accelerate Judy from post six represents a live contender for trainer Alex T. Hartman. The five-year-old mare shows consistent form and draws Alfredo Triana Jr., forming a productive partnership. The middle post provides tactical options in this competitive sprint.
Mia Baby from post nine brings Floyd Wethey Jr. to the assignment. The six-year-old mare by Hard Spun shows competitive speed figures and could benefit from honest early fractions setting up her late run.
Selections
Win: Cajun Ninja
Place: Regal Rumor
Show: Accelerate Judy
Race 6 – Maiden Claiming $20,000
Post Time: 8:20 PM
5 1/2 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $21,000, For 3-5YO Males
Pace Analysis
This eight-horse maiden claiming sprint features developing horses seeking breakthrough performances. Choice Not Chance and Lazy Y Girvin show early speed capabilities while several others prefer stalking positions. The pace should develop moderately, with tactical speed proving advantageous at this distance configuration.
Key Contenders
Choice Not Chance represents the morning line favorite from post one. The three-year-old gelding by Malibu Moon finished fourth over course and distance in his most recent start following a year-long layoff. The return to action with improved fitness suggests significant improvement potential. Ramon Vazquez takes over the mount, bringing his meet-leading 61 wins and 29% strike rate to this assignment. Post one provides a ground-saving trip under an aggressive rider.
Lazy Y Girvin from post eight offers solid value at projected odds. The three-year-old gelding by Girvin makes a class drop to the maiden claiming ranks after facing tougher opposition. Trainer Patrick Fields sends out this runner with Obed Sanchez aboard. The class relief combined with the distance cutback to 5 1/2 furlongs sets up a strong effort.
Secondary Choices
Myth Conception debuts from post two for accomplished trainer Mark W. Buehrer. The three-year-old gelding by Ghostzapper shows solid breeding and demonstrates positive workout patterns suggesting readiness. Rene Diaz brings 16 wins from 129 mounts this meet.
Charlie Dont Surf from post six represents trainer Mindy J. Willis with Stewart Elliott riding. The gelding drops in class and could improve significantly with the rider upgrade to Elliott, who ranks third in the standings.
Selections
Win: Choice Not Chance
Place: Lazy Y Girvin
Show: Myth Conception
Race 7 – Allowance $40,000
Post Time: 8:48 PM
5 1/2 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $40,000, For Fillies and Mares 3YO+ NW3
Pace Analysis
This six-horse allowance feature for fillies and mares presents an interesting pace dynamic. Electrifying Lady shows blazing early speed while Ooh La Da Stoops also demonstrates forward positioning tendencies. The honest pace should set up fillies with tactical speed and closing ability for serious stretch drives in this quality field.
Key Contenders
Electrifying Lady dominates as the overwhelming favorite for the powerhouse Asmussen connections. The three-year-old filly by Practical Joke brings an impressive 7-for-7 in-the-money record this year for Hall of Fame trainer Steven M. Asmussen. Erik Asmussen takes the mount, continuing the family partnership that has produced 30 wins from 105 mounts this meet. The filly won impressively in her most recent start and shows superior speed figures throughout her form.
Seriously Outahere represents the primary competition from post three. The four-year-old filly by Flat Out drops in class for accomplished trainer C.R. Trout. Trout, an Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee, maintains a 22% win rate when entries start at Remington Park. Luis S. Quinonez rides this capable filly who shows tactical speed and proven ability at multiple levels.
Secondary Choices
Eskenforaraise from post one enters off a recent victory at Prairie Meadows and shows stakes experience at Oaklawn Park. However, late scratches indicate this filly may not compete based on recent scratch reports. Walter De La Cruz would ride for trainer Travis Swan Murphy.
Ooh La Da Stoops from post four brings competitive form for trainer Shon M. Dunlap. The four-year-old filly by Da Stoops shows 4 wins from 15 starts and benefits from the distance cutback. Valdez-Jiminez provides solid riding services.
Selections
Win: Electrifying Lady
Place: Seriously Outahere
Show: Ooh La Da Stoops
Race 8 – Allowance $39,000
Post Time: 9:16 PM
6 1/2 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $39,000, For 3YO+ NW1X or NW2
Pace Analysis
This nine-horse allowance test at 6 1/2 furlongs presents multiple pace scenarios. Mumayaz shows front-running tendencies while Perfect Magic demonstrates fast stalking capabilities. Fire in My Sul also positions forward early. The competitive pace dynamics should create opportunities for horses rating within striking distance through the middle stages of this extended sprint.
Key Contenders
Perfect Magic emerges as a consensus selection for the Asmussen barn. The three-year-old colt by Tarpy’s Surprise shows stakes placings twice at Oaklawn Park last year and finished second at Keeneland in his most recent start. Erik Asmussen rides this talented colt who demonstrates tactical speed and ability to rate off the pace. The Asmussen family partnership has dominated this meet, and Perfect Magic’s class advantages should prove decisive.
Fire in My Sul represents another Asmussen trainee from post nine. The four-year-old colt by Justify shows solid form with 1 win from 7 starts and 57% in-the-money percentage. Isaiah Wiseman takes the mount on this improving colt who benefits from the outside post in a contentious pace scenario.
Secondary Choices
Mumayaz from post seven brings the most experience to this contest. The six-year-old gelding by Bodemeister shows 3 wins from 21 starts with consistent efforts at claiming levels. Trainer Ron Moquett sends out this veteran with Rene Diaz aboard. The gelding’s front-running style could prove effective if securing uncontested early fractions.
Plausible Denile from post eight was scratched from this contest according to recent reports, removing a key contender from consideration. War Mule and Cheating Heart represent live longshot options if pace dynamics develop favorably.
Selections
Win: Perfect Magic
Place: Fire in My Sul
Show: Mumayaz

Post Time: 9:44 PM
5 1/2 Furlongs Dirt, Purse $11,000, For 3-5YO Fillies and Mares
Pace Analysis
This eleven-horse maiden claiming nightcap presents a wide-open affair. Volatile Nite and Prime Number show early speed capabilities while Woman’s Intuition demonstrates tactical positioning. The large field and competitive nature should produce honest pace dynamics setting up horses with tactical speed for stretch drives.
Key Contenders
Volatile Nite towers over this field as the prohibitive favorite. The three-year-old filly by Volatile drops significantly in class after facing much tougher competition in Kentucky. Hall of Fame trainer Steven M. Asmussen sends out this well-bred filly with son Erik Asmussen riding. The class relief from facing allowance and stakes company to bottom-level maiden claiming represents a massive drop. The family partnership’s 30 combined wins this meet adds confidence.

Trainer Robertino Diodoro ranks second in the standings with 26 wins from 79 starts. Ramon Vazquez provides riding services, bringing his meet-leading statistics to this assignment.
Secondary Choices
Woman’s Intuition from post four demonstrates competitive efforts with 5 placings from 11 starts. The three-year-old filly shows 64% in-the-money percentage and could benefit from the expected pace scenario. Belen Quinonez rides for trainer Jerry Glen Stephens.
Mucho Vapor from post three represents trainer Steve Martin, who maintains a 36% win rate from limited starts. The four-year-old mare shows consistent form and could factor at generous odds.
Selections
Win: Volatile Nite
Place: Prime Number
Show: Woman’s Intuition
Jockey Notes and Insights
Ramon Vazquez continues his dominant performance at the current Remington Park meet, leading all riders with 61 victories from 212 mounts for an impressive 29% win rate. Vazquez has demonstrated particular effectiveness recently, posting four consecutive multiple-win nights and a riding quadruple on September 20.

Buehrer has 6 wins from 60 starts and shows effectiveness with first-time starters. Buehrer brings out Myth Conception in Race 6, a well-bred debut runner worthy of consideration.
Best Wagering Strategies and Value Plays
The evening card presents several strategic wagering opportunities focusing on the powerful Asmussen barn and leading riders. A vertical approach using the Asmussen-trained horses as singles in exactas and trifectas offers solid value potential, particularly in Races 7, 8, and 9 where the stable sends out heavy favorites with class advantages.
Race 1 presents value with Knock’em Out Jerry, who shows consistent form and draws the powerful post three position. A win bet combined with exacta wheels using the three-horse offers reasonable upside at projected odds around 2-1.
Race 2 features Yougotthisjr returning off a stunning upset victory. Using this gelding in exactas and trifectas with Slades Tank and Sutter Bug creates attractive combinations given the competitive Oklahoma-bred field dynamics.
Race 3 appears straightforward with Mo Ta representing solid value as the favorite. Keying this filly over Brielle and Braxton’s Girl in exactas provides coverage while maintaining reasonable ticket costs.
The featured Race 7 allowance showcases Electrifying Lady as a heavy favorite for the Asmussen barn. While the odds will be prohibitive for win betting, using this filly underneath Seriously Outahere in exactas offers potential value if the class-dropping Trout trainee produces an upset. A small win bet on Seriously Outahere at projected 4-1 or higher odds represents solid value given Trout’s effectiveness.
Race 8 presents Perfect Magic as another Asmussen favorite worth vertical consideration. Using this colt in exactas over Fire in My Sul and Mumayaz covers the most logical outcomes. A daily double connecting Race 8 to Race 9 using Perfect Magic and Fire in My Sul with Volatile Nite offers attractive potential returns.
Race 9 features the most prohibitive favorite of the evening in Volatile Nite. The massive class drop makes this filly nearly unbeatable, but odds will reflect that advantage. Using Prime Number and Woman’s Intuition in exactas underneath the favorite provides coverage if Volatile Nite produces the expected dominant performance.
Multi-race wagers focusing on the Asmussen barn entries offer solid value. A late Pick 3 covering Races 7-8-9 using Electrifying Lady, Perfect Magic with Fire in My Sul, and Volatile Nite creates a focused ticket with reasonable coverage. The late Pick 4 including Race 6 adds depth by including Choice Not Chance and Lazy Y Girvin with the Asmussen horses in later races.
Rolling exotic plays connecting races throughout the card offer significant upside. An early Pick 5 beginning with Race 1 using Knock’em Out Jerry and Six Iron, connecting through logical favorites in Races 2-4, and concluding with multiple horses in Race 5 creates a reasonably-priced ticket with solid winning potential.
Value plays exist throughout the card in horses dropping in class or returning off layoffs. Irish Writ in Race 4 offers longshot potential at the route distance despite her winless record. The mare shows consistent placing efforts and could benefit from the extended distance. Mia Baby in Race 5 represents another live longshot possibility if pace dynamics develop favorably for her closing kick.
Place and show wagering on the Asmussen favorites offers conservative approaches for bankroll preservation. While win odds will be unattractive, place and show returns on horses like Electrifying Lady, Perfect Magic, and Volatile Nite provide minimal risk opportunities given their significant class advantages over respective fields.
Cross-track Pick 4 and Pick 6 wagers incorporating Remington Park races with other evening programs create opportunities for substantial returns while maintaining manageable ticket costs. Using the Asmussen entries as singles within these sequences maximizes efficiency while covering other competitive races with multiple horses.
