ALLIEKAT DYNASTY, OVERLOOKED AT 13-1 ODDS, REGAINS HER CROWN AS ONE OF THE TOP MARES AT REMINGTON PARK IN EASY DATE STAKES
by Richard Linihan
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – April 20, 2025 – Nearly everyone forgot that Alliekat Dynasty loves the Remington Park racetrack like she loves sweet feed on a day off. The 4-year-old mare didn’t forget how to win, however, as she flew to victory Saturday night in the Grade 2, $82,520 Easy Date Stakes at 13-1 odds.
The Easy Date is for fillies and mares, three and older, at 350 yards.
Alliekat Dynasty, an Oklahoma-bred mare by FDD Dynasty, out of the Apollitical Jess mare Pollitical Scorpion, won for the seventh time in 11 starts at Remington Park and pocketed $47,925 from the purse for owner Arrowhead Racing (Anita Ruiz) of Wapanucka, Okla. Alliekat Dynasty is trained by Jesus Ruiz.
Alliekat Dynasty has now won three stakes races in Oklahoma City – the FL Lady Bug Stakes in 2023; the Grade 2 Decketta Stakes in 2024, and now the Easy Date. She was bred by Jahree Standridge. Interestingly enough, Standridge won the Easy Date Stakes as an owner and it was done with Alliekat Dynasty’s dam (mother), Pollitical Scorpion in 2016.
Alliekat Dynasty provided the first win in the Easy Date Stakes for all her connections.
The reason Alliekat Dynasty may have been ignored at 13-1 odds, was that she had not won a race in almost a year (May 12, 2024) and was on a four-race non-winning streak going into the Easy Date. Jockey Roman Cruz put her on the lead over a sloppy track with rain falling and nothing bothered her as she battled to the wire for a win by a head over Curls Joyful Wagon.
Those who stayed loyal to Alliekat Dynasty on this night were rewarded with a return of $28 to win, $7.60 to place and $5.60 to show. Curls Joyful Wagon (the heavy 3-5 favorite), was coming hard at the winner in the latter stages, but couldn’t quite catch her. The favorite was a nose ahead of 43-1 longshot Paige. That 50-cent trifecta paid $541.50. The 10-cent superfecta with 13-1 longshot Hallmarke running fourth was worth $893.03.
The rest of the order of finish in the Easy date was BP Moonlight (10-1) fifth, First Time for Wine (6-1) sixth, Flying Sophia (5-1) seventh, I Got Thiss (20-1) eighth, and Relentless Diamond (27-1) ninth. Edelyns PYC was a gate scratch in the race.
Alliekat Dynasty improved her career record to 15 starts, nine wins, one second and two thirds for a bankroll of $299,867. The winner won for the sixth time in seven starts at 350 yards.
The Easy Date Stakes is named after the 1974 All American Futurity winner and 1975 American Quarter Horse World Champion who was bred, owned and trained by Walter Merrick of Sayre, Okla.
