HE SIPS BOURBON WEARS DOWN STORMY GULCH FOR VICTORY

 

OKLAHOMA CITY – Wednesday’s feature $38,250 allowance for Oklahoma-bred fillies and mares had He Sips Bourbon prevailing by a neck, catching pace-setting Stormy Gulch in the final strides.

 

Owned by High Hopes Thoroughbreds of Jones, Okla. and trained by Joe Offolter, He Sips Bourbon won the 7-1/2 furlong turf race in 1:32.32 over the firm course. Ridden by Cliff Berry, He Sips Bourbon sat just behind Stormy Gulch until the final furlong when she was able to move alongside. In the final yards, the 4-year-old filly just edged ahead for victory.

 

He Sips Bourbon was 5-2 in the wagering and paid $7 to win, $3.80 to place and $3.40 to show. Stormy Gulch paid $20.20 to place and $5.80 to show. Cha Cha Brooky was third, a half-length behind the winner, paying $5.40 to show. Whimiscal Miss was the beaten wagering favorite at 2-1 odds, finishing fourth.

 

The win was the third from 19 career starts for He Sips Bourbon, a filly by Burbank from the Robin des Pins mare He Sits He Sips. The first Remington Park win in nine attempts for He Sips Bourbon was worth $21,921 to run her overall earnings to $78,444.
