Welder will bring a remarkable Remington Park record to the table Friday night, when he attempts to win the track’s $70,000 Silver Goblin for the fourth consecutive year. Overall, he’s looking for his 14th win at the Oklahoma City track. The Silver Goblin is one of three stakes on the card, and each is restricted to horses bred in Oklahoma. Welder meets five others in the 6 1/2-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up. Remington spotlights 2-year-olds at a mile in both the $75,000 Don McNeill and $75,000 Slide Show. :: Click to learn about our DRF's Free Past Performance program. Welder is the reigning Oklahoma-bred of the year, an award earned in part for his three stakes wins at Remington in 2019, including the $150,000 David M. Vance over open company. This year, he’s won back-to-back stakes at the meet, his latest the $130,000 Oklahoma Classics Sprint on Oct. 16. “Remington by far is his chosen course,” said Theresa Luneack, who trains Welder for Ra-Max Farms. “He just absolutely loves it. He thrives on it. He doesn’t care if the surface is muddy, sloppy, or fast.” Welder ships in from two hours away for his races at Remington, which makes his record even more remarkable. He’s won 10 consecutive stakes at Remington starting with the November 2017 running of the Silver Goblin. It’s a local record. And if he is successful Friday night, he would become the first four-time winner of the Silver Goblin, surpassing his record of three wins he shares with Okie Ride, according to Remington. Welder’s 13 wins at Remington – 12 on the main track and one on turf – puts him on the cusp of becoming one of the track’s all-time winningest horses. The record for Remington wins is 15, which is shared by Highland Ice and Elegant Exxactsy, according to Remington. As for Welder, aside from the local surface, he likes the accommodations at Remington. “Before the race he hangs out the window at the barn and watches the other races,” Luneack said. “It helps him relax. He loves it.” Welder is coming into this year’s Silver Goblin in good form, Luneack said. “He’s on the same track as he was last year,” she said. “He’s gained a little weight between each race, which he normally does when he’s training well. He’s happy in the morning. He’s doing great.” :: Start earning weekly cashback on your wagering today. Click to learn more. Welder will break from post 2 under David Cabrera. “This probably will be his last out for the year,” Luneack said. “I would venture to guess this will be the last time we run him this year. We’ll let him rest and shoot for something at Oaklawn.” Welder on Friday faces fellow stakes winners Quality Rocket, Fly to the Bank, and Rockport Kat, as well as the stakes-placed No Lak of Speed. ◗ Trainer Kari Craddock swept the 2-year-old stakes on Oklahoma Classics Night last month, and the winners of those races, Number One Dude and Gotta See Red, are back in action Friday. Both will be making their two-turn debut. Number One Dude, a winner of both of his starts, including the $100,000 Classics Juvenile, will break from the rail in the Don McNeill. Gotta See Red, winner of the $100,000 Classics Lassie, meets fellow fillies in the Slide Show.
