YOU'RE THE BOSS GAINS TURF SPRINT UPSET, VAZQUEZ WINS THREE
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Saturday night feature at Remington Park was a $30,000 allowance sprint over the turf at five furlongs. The race had a talented group of nine leaving the starting gate with 16-1 longshot You're The Boss prevailing by 1-1/4 lengths.
Owned by Danny Caldwell of Poteau, Okla. and trained by Federico Villafranco, You're The Boss gave Ramon Vazquez his third win on the Saturday program. The 4-year-old bred in Great Britain, You're The Boss rallied from just off the pace, handling the measure of firm turf in :56.38 seconds.
Uno Ducksy led the field to the stretch but gave way to The Absolute One briefly before You're The Boss took over in the final sixteenth of a mile. Rhetorical came on to gain second with The Absolute One holding on for third as the beaten 8-5 wagering favorite.
You're The Boss paid $34.60 to win, $14 to place and $6 to show. Rhetorical returned $11.60 to place and $5.80 to show. The Absolute One paid $3 to show.
The win was the third from 15 career starts for You're The Boss and the first at Remington Park in three starts this season. A gelding by Royal Applause (GB) from the Rainbow Quest mare Trinny (GB), You're The Boss earned $17,796 to run his career money to $55,032.
Vazquez also won aboard Fatal Sting ($17.80 to win) in race two and Sollozzo ($19.40) in race seven. The riding triple gives Vazquez, the leader in the jockey standings, 35 wins for the season as he attempts to win his second consecutive title at Remington Park.
