C W PRIZE WINS REMINGTON PARK FEATURE, GIVING OWNER AND TRAINER THREE WINS ON THE NIGHT

On a night when the Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame at Remington Park was front and center with five new inductees, it was only fitting that a long-time Hall of Fame trainer, Joe Offolter, would win the featured allowance race with C W Prize.

C W Prize showed he can win the big race, sprinting, taking the $50,000 Silver Goblin Stakes at 6-1/2 furlongs last time out on Nov. 7 against fellow Oklahoma-breds. He followed that up with an impressive win around two turns Friday night in open company, going one mile. It seemed appropriate that the Silver Goblin winner was in the spotlight on this night as Silver Goblin was one of the five new Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Famers inducted during the race card Friday.

One of the allowance conditions for the feature was non-winners of four lifetime. C W Prize, an 11-time winner in his career, qualified under the other condition that included horses that had not won a race at a mile or more since June 5, 2025.

C W Prize, a 5-year-old Oklahoma-bred gelded son of Code West, out of the Pure Prize mare M B Prize, had only run in route races three times in his last 10 starts and none since June 5. He did show some promise, going long, at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla., in May, running second to Ghost Hero in stakes company, beaten only one length.

Friday night’s win was his second in a row and fifth in his last 10 tries with regular rider Richard Eramia in the saddle. He was sent off as the second favorite in the race at 2-1 odds, winning by two lengths and paying $6.60 to win, $4.40 to place, and $2.40 to show. Mazuma (7-1) checked in second, another 1-3/4 lengths ahead of third-place finisher and post-time favorite at 6-5 odds, Imperial Gun.

C W Prize, ridden by Richard Eramia, sat just off the shoulder of front-runner Shouldaboughtdabar for half the race and then took over after a half-mile. He cut into interior fractions of :24.63 for the first quarter-mile, :49.16 for the half-mile and then hit the rest of the poles in 1:14.74 for six furlongs and 1:27.28 for seven-eighths of a mile. His winning time was 1:40.08 over the fast track.

Owned and bred by Bryan Hawk of Shawnee, Okla., C W Prize earned $25,064 for his victory. He improves his career record to 23 starts, 11 wins, five seconds and four thirds for a total bankroll of $360,963.

C W Prize provided the third win of the night for Hawk and Offolter, as they also teamed together to win race two with Fantasy Girl ($10.60 to win) and race four with Code Jorgie ($3).

Hawk now has 22 wins on the season to lead the owner standings by 10 over Steve Asmussen who has 12 victories for second.

Offolter’s training triple Friday boosts his season total to 27 wins, tying him for second with Robertino Diodoro. Asmussen leads the trainer standings with 61.

FIVE INDUCTED INTO OKLAHOMA HORSE RACING HALL OF FAME, INCLUDING HORSES SILVER GOBLIN, SENOR BUSCADOR
Two horses, two owners and one track announcer were inducted into the Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame at Remington Park on Friday night – Silver Goblin, Senor Buscador, Clark Brewster, Kristine and John Richter (Richter Family Trust) and Jim Byers.

Silver Goblin made a name for himself by running second to the legendary Cigar in the Grade 1 Oaklawn Handicap in 1995, but had already etched his name in the Oklahoma horse racing history books. The Oklahoma-bred son of Silver Ghost, out of the Zonic mare Molly O’Horton, won three of his first four starts of his career at Remington Park, two of those being stakes wins in the Prevue Stakes and then in the Mathis Brothers Remington Futurity.

He also was the first Oklahoma-bred to race in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown, in 1994. Silver Goblin was owned by Al Horton of McAlester, Okla., trained by Kenny Smith and ridden in every race but one by Dale Cordova.

A winner of his only two attempts at Remington Park, Senor Buscador, won a maiden race and the Springboard in his races here. He would go on to win the richest race in the world in the $20 million Saudi Cup in 2024 and earn almost $13 million in his career.

Owned by Joey Peacock, Jr. and trained by Todd Fincher, Senor Buscador was about 15 lengths back in the early going of the 2020 Springboard Mile with over a half-mile left, then launched his preferred rally to fly by his nine rivals and go away to win by 5-3/4 lengths.

An Oklahoma-based owner and breeder with plenty of national success, Clark Brewster operates out of Tulsa, Okla. He is currently second in all-time owner victories at Remington Park.

Brewster has won multiple stakes races at Remington Park throughout his career with Bayerd among the best, winning the 2014 Springboard Mile.

The Perkins, Okla. family of Kristine and John Richter (Richter Family Trust) have been prominent owners and breeders throughout the entire history of Remington Park. They have enjoyed success with multiple stakes winners, including the likes of Okie Ride, D Fine Okie, Notable Okie and Bien Nicole to name just a few.

The original voice of Remington Park, Byers moved to Oklahoma City to become the track’s first announcer in 1988. He continued in that position, calling up to three racing seasons for many calendar years until 1999. Byers left horse racing for a time, concentrating on broadcasting other sports including baseball and hockey. He returned to calling races in the early 2000s and is now the announcer at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas, serving there since 2016.

Remington Park racing continues Saturday, Dec. 6 with the first race at 6pm-Central.
