CANTICLE STAYS PERFECT AT REMINGTON PARK
OKLAHOMA CITY – Canticle made her second local attempt Friday night at Remington Park in a $33,000 allowance event at 6-1/2 furlongs for older fillies and mares. She ran her local record to a perfect two-for-two, in convincing fashion.
Owned by Craig Drago of Edmond, Okla. and trained by Chris Hartman, Canticle was ridden by Ken Tohill. The 3-year-old filly won her first start in Oklahoma City on Oct. 19, posting victory in a six-furlong allowance while holding on to win by a neck. The final margin was not that close this time around as she took control before the field of nine left the turn and opened up to a five-length lead in the stretch.
Tohill let Canticle glide home over the final yards once the race appeared to be hers, allowing a late-charging Bilirrubina to close the final margin to 1-1/2 lengths. Canticle crossed the finish in 1:16.89 over the fast track.
The 2-1 wagering favorite, Canticle paid $6 to win, $4.60 to place and $2.60 to show. Bilirrubina returned $13.60 to place and $4 to show. Behavioral was third, paying $3.20 to show.
A Kentucky-bred daughter of Unbridled’s Song from the Pulpit mare Palais Versailles, Canticle has won four of 14 career starts. Her second Remington Park score added another $19,596 to her career earnings, bumping the money to $125,505.
