SHARP WINNERS IN BOTH DIVISIONS OF OKLAHOMA STALLION STAKES EVENTS
OKLAHOMA CITY – A pair of impressive winners came home alone in their respective divisions of the Oklahoma Stallion Stakes on Black Friday afternoon at Remington Park. Heykittykittykitty roared home an easy seven-length winner in the Filly Division while Alpha And Omega scored by three lengths with a sharp burst into the stretch of the Colts & Geldings Division. Both divisions for the Oklahoma Stallion Stakes were worth $55,000.
Heykittykittykitty has suddenly developed after breaking her maiden in a claiming event at the $15,000-level then chasing the very-talented Beau Ravelle in her last start on Nov. 13, settling for a respectable second-place effort only 3-1/2 lengths behind the undefeated runner. Owned by Danny Caldwell of Poteau, Okla. and trained by Federico Villafranco, Heykittykittykitty was ridden by Jose Medina. She crossed the six-furlong finish in 1:11.98 over the fast track with plenty in reserve.
The heavy 1-5 wagering favorite, Heykittykittykitty came from just off the pace early to take over off the turn into the stretch and then drawing clear. She paid $2.60 to win, $2.10 to place and $2.10 to show. Mama’s Mad Money was along for second and returned $5.40 to place and $3.60 to show. Aunt Sissy was 4-1/4 lengths behind the runner-up, finishing third to pay $5 to show.
Bred in Oklahoma by the Diamond G Ranch, Heykittykittykitty has won two of her three career attempts, all here at Remington Park. The winner’s check of $33,000 moves her total earnings to $49,591. She is by the Oklahoma-based stallion Tactical Cat from the New Way mare Eternal.
Colts & Geldings Division
Alpha And Omega left no doubt about his 1-9 closing odds when he left the gate in the $55,000 Oklahoma Stallion Stakes and quickly darted to the lead. He then strolled home to a popular 3-length win for owner and breeder Dr. Robert Zoellner of Tulsa, Okla.
Now with two wins in four starts, all at Remington Park, Alpha And Omega earned $33,000 for his victory, pushing his lifetime earnings to $77,217. He is a two-year-old gelded son of the Oklahoma-based stallion Omega Code, from the Holy Bull mare Holy Belle.
Trained by Kari Craddock and ridden by Luis Quinonez, the extremely short-priced favorite paid $2.20 to win, $2.10 to place and $2.10 to show. Here Comes Valdez stalked the pace and finished second as the 9-1 second-choice and paid $3.60 to place and $2.80 to show. Black Alleycat ran third and paid $3.20 to show. Alpha And Omega covered the six furlongs in a time of 1:12.49.
