PATIENCE PAYS OFF FOR ZETA ZODY
OKLAHOMA CITY – Remington Park’s Halloween feature was the Witches’ Brew Purse, a $38,250 allowance for older Oklahoma-bred fillies and mares at 1-1/16 miles over the turf. Zeta Zody was bottled up in traffic for much of the race but burst free to a 5-1/2 length win once clear.
Owned by Al and Bill Ulwelling of Elk River, Minn. and trained by Michael Biehler, Zeta Zody was ridden by Luis Quinonez. She was stuck with little running room around the final turn and into the stretch. With just over a furlong left in the race, Zeta Zody found some clear space and shot through the opening to the lead and victory. She handled the measure over the firm course in 1:44.23.
Away at 5-1 odds, Zeta Zody paid $12.80 to win, $5.40 to place and $5.80 to show. Sis Boom Bah was second and paid $49.20 to place and $25.40 to show. Nancy Nightingale was a nose behind the runner-up for third and paid $24 to show. Whimiscal Miss was fourth as the beaten 5-2 wagering favorite.
The win for Zeta Zody was her third from 12 career attempts and her first score over turf. A daughter of Omega Code from the Devious Course mare The Penguin, Zeta Zody made $21,768 for the win to run her lifetime earnings to $48,718.
Remington Park Thoroughbred racing continues Saturday at 1:30pm. The special afternoon start is due to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, simulcast from Santa Anita, which begin at 2pm.
