Miss Code West has established herself as one of the best Oklahoma-breds in training over the past two seasons and on Friday night she will be a strong favorite to defeat older rivals in the $145,000 Oklahoma Classics Distaff at Remington Park. The race for fillies and mares at one mile and 70 yards is one of eight Oklahoma-bred stakes worth a cumulative $1 million. The Oklahoma Classics Night card of 10 races also includes a pair of starter allowances over seven furlongs. The series is led by the $175,000 Oklahoma Classics Classic. Miss Code West won all four of her starts last year at Remington, including three stakes, to be named the track’s horse of the meet. Her wins included the Oklahoma Classics Lassie and Trapeze, a race in which she defeated open company at a mile to close out her season in December. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

She will break outside of that sprint-to-route prospect, starting from post 6 under regular rider Floyd Wethey Jr. Letta’s Legacy will start from post 3 in the field of six and could have some company early from the rail-drawn Gospel Fabulous. Miss Code West boasts a 5-for-6 record on the main track at Remington. She enters the Distaff off her lone local loss, which was a runner-up finish to Alpine Princess in the $200,000 Remington Park Oaks. Alpine Princess shipped in for the race and after emerging from it in good order will now likely target an upcoming stakes in either New York or Kentucky, according to her trainer, Brad Cox. Miss Code West has remained home at Remington and will be facing older rivals for the third time in her career. She defeated such rivals in a no-conditions allowance at a mile in April at Lone Star Park. Miss Code West’s other start against older rivals came on turf and she was an uncharacteristic eighth in a mile stakes in May at Lone Star. Miss Code West is a daughter of Code West bred by Bryan Hawk. She races for Jeffrey Puryear and Julie Puryear and is trained by Kevin Scholl. Stormieis Blue, who won last year’s Distaff going sprint to route, follows the same pattern into this year’s race. She will break from post 4 under Harry Hernandez. Sarah Davidson trains the daughter of Moro Tap for Henry Witt Jr. Classic The Bryan Hawk homebred C W Prize will attempt to win around two turns for the first time in the Classic, when he meets multiple stakes winners Flat Hanby and Number One Dude, as well as Churchill Downs shipper Winters Lion. It’s a competitive renewal of the 1 1/16-mile race that drew a field of seven. C W Prize might have a tactical advantage on his rivals, as he enters off back-to-back allowance wins at 6 1/2 furlongs and on the stretch-out appears to be the one to catch. Richard Eramia has the mount from post 2 for trainer Joe Offolter. Number One Dude is back on dirt after running fifth in the Red Earth, a turf route for Oklahoma-breds on Sept. 20. Prior to that race, Number One Dude was second by three-quarters of a length in a no-conditions allowance Sept. 4. The winner of the race was Silver Prospector, a Grade 2 winner of more than $1.6 million who came back in his next start and won another allowance at Remington. Number One Dude could get a stalking trip under jockey Leandro Goncalves. Flat Hanby won five consecutive races from April to September, including three stakes. He is moving back into Oklahoma-bred company off a fifth-place finish in the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby on Sept. 28. Earlier this year, Flat Hanby won the Canterbury Park Derby and won a pair of restricted stakes between Remington and Prairie Meadows. Flat Hanby could track C W Prize. Winters Lion is back on dirt after racing on turf last out at Kentucky Downs. He has turned in some nice five-furlong works in advance of the move into the Oklahoma-bred ranks for Calumet Farm and trainer Joe Sharp. Winters Lion could stalk the leaders Friday. Juvenile Cold Fact was a debut winner Aug. 31 at Remington Park and since the promising start to his career has worked sharply ahead of the $100,000 Juvenile. Cold Fact drilled five furlongs in a bullet 1:00.80 on Oct. 5 as part of his prep work for the six-furlong race for 2-year-olds. Stewart Elliott has the mount from post 11 for breeder and owner Clark Brewster and trainer Steve Asmussen. The field of 12 also includes Tzedakah, who is making his first start against Oklahoma-breds after a maiden win at Prairie Meadows and a sixth-place finish in the Kip Deville on Sept. 28 at Remington. Distaff Turf Talkin Cadee is returning to the 1 1/16-mile distance of one of her biggest wins for the $130,000 Distaff Turf. She is one of two leading contenders in the field for trainer Scott Young, who also saddles Doudoudouwanadance. Talkin Cadee defeated open rivals at this distance on turf in May at Lone Star Park. Earlier in her career, she won her maiden at 1 1/16 miles on turf at Sam Houston. Wethey has the mount from post 2. Doudoudouwanadance won the Bob Barry Memorial at 7 1/2 furlongs on turf in her most recent start, and the Beyer Speed Figure of 84 that she earned is the best last-race number in the field. Goncalves has the mount from post 5. Run Slewpy Run is looking for her third win in the Distaff Turf. Sprint Fly to the Bank, an earner of more than $500,000, will attempt to win the $130,000 Sprint for the third time in his career. The six-furlong race drew a field of eight, including recent turf stakes winner Dark Afternoon. Fly to the Bank comes into this year’s running off a pair of second-place finishers to C W Prize in allowance sprints at Remington. C W Prize advanced to the Classic, while Fly to the Bank is shortening up to a distance over which he has had a good deal of success. Stewart Elliott has the mount from post 2 for trainer Steve Martin. ◗ Tap the Dot is seeking to win the $130,000 Turf, going 1 1/16 miles for males, for the second year in a row Friday. ◗ Take Me Serious will attempt to turn the tables on Nice Neighbor in the $130,000 Distaff Sprint at six furlongs.
