TWO-TIME REMINGTON PARK HORSE OF MEETING MISS CODE WEST, STATES HER CASE FOR THIRD TROPHY SCORE IN SHE’S ALL IN STAKES

OKLAHOMA CITY – Remington Park’s two-time Champion Horse of the Meet the past two years, Miss Code West, staked her claim to a possible third trophy. She won her third stakes race of the season, this one against open company in the $75,000 She’s All In Stakes.

The 4-year-old Oklahoma-bred filly by Code West, out of the Kipling mare Inca Miss, took on open company fillies and mares and it just didn’t matter as Miss Code West was returning to a route of ground at one mile, and 70 yards. The She’s All In Stakes victory was her fourth in a row that she has negotiated around two turns. Her only two losses this meet have come in sprints against the top Oklahoma-bred sprinting filly on the grounds, Letta’s Legacy.

“(Miss Code West) by far is better going a route of ground,” said her trainer Kevin Scholl.

Scholl made a case for her getting her third Horse of the Meet award.

“She has shown she can win on grass or dirt and sprinting is not her game,” he said. Miss Code West did run second in both sprint losses.

This filly with the huge heart has won or run second in her last 10 consecutive starts. She improved her lifetime record to 18 starts, 13 wins, and three seconds for earnings of $618,277. Miss Code West was bred by Bryan Hawk and was bought at the Texas Thoroughbred Association Yearling Sale of 2022 for $12,000.

Owned by Jeffry and Julie Puryear of Denton, Texas, Miss Code West won her third stakes of the meet, this one being the one that Oklahoma-breds are not supposed to win. Prior to the She’s All In victory, the filly also took down the $130,000 Oklahoma Classics Distaff Turf win on Oct. 17 here and the $50,000 Bob Barry Memorial Stakes on Sept. 12, also on the grass, both versus fellow Oklahoma-breds.

Jockey Floyd Wethey, Jr., let Miss Code West settle in second for the first half mile of the She’s All In, sitting behind the pacesetter, Thunders Rocknroll (8-1).

“The race went just the way we drew it up,” said Wethey. “I just let her do her thing and tried to stay out of her way.”

By the time three-quarters of a mile was run, Miss Code West had moved in front by a half-length and Thunders Rocknroll faded to third behind second-place Take Me Serious (3-1). Thunders Rocknroll was not done, however. She decided to fight on and passed Take Me Serious in deep stretch to regain the second-place spot, 1-1/2 lengths ahead of Take Me Serious.

Miss Code West won the She’s All In by 1-1/2 lengths as the 7-5 co-favorite. She had slightly more money bet on her than the other 7-5 horse, Perfect Shot, who beat only one horse in the six-horse field.

The rest of the order of finish in the She’s All In was Thetruthisthetruth (39-1) fourth, Perfect Shot fifth, and Gee I’m Foxy (16-1) sixth.

Miss Code West paid $4.80 to win, $3 to place and $2.40 to show. Her winning time was 1:43.61 on the fast main track. She followed the early fractions of :24.36 for the first quarter-mile, :48.28 for the half-mile, and by the time they hit six furlongs, the winner took over. She passed the mile in 1:39.11.

The race scratched down to six horses when Take Charge Milady was declared out prior to the races.

The She’s All In is named after the Oklahoma-bred racing mare who earned more than a million dollars in her career, with 11 of her lifetime wins at Remington Park.
