APOLLITICAL HERO PULLS OFF MINOR UPSET IN FEATURED ALLOWANCE RACE OVER ODDS-ON FAVORITE, AINT WORKING
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – March 15, 2021 – Aint Working had run second in the $233,000 Oklahoma Derby last year at Remington Park, beaten only a half-length by one of the toughest 3-year-olds on the grounds, Love Is Everything V.
Consequently, Aint Working was sent off in a $26,250 allowance race for non-winners of two as the 4-5 wagering favorite on Friday night at Remington Park. That status didn’t matter to second favorite Apollitical Hero (5-2 odds) as he took charge from the start of the 330-yard race and held on by a head to win. Aint Working could do no better than sixth in a disappointing effort.
The winner of Friday’s feature, a 3-year-old gelding by Apollitical Jess, out of the Valiant Hero mare Belle of Valor, Apollitical Hero stormed home to a win in :16.728 over a fast track, good enough for a 91-speed index. Jerry James RF, a longshot at 10-1 odds, finished second, a head back, also with a 91-speed index. Another head back in the blanket finish, running third was MH Apollitical Spy (9-2).
Berkley Packer rode Apollitical Hero for trainer Jason Olmstead and owner Tom Maher, Paul Luedemann and Dick Tobin of Pierre, S.D. The gelding paid $7.60, $4.40 and $3.60 across the board to win, place and show.
Apollitical Hero improved his record to seven starts, two wins, and one second for $21,893 in earnings. He earned $15,238 for the Friday night win. The gelding was bred in Oklahoma by Canadian River QH.
Crawford Triples
Friday was a big night for trainer Clint Crawford of Sallisaw, Okla., scoring a training triple with winners in races two, six and nine. His horses that hit the wire in front were Painted Snowclouds ($5.60 to win), Wicked Sweet Z ($12.80) and Peves Ima Eagle Too ($14.40), respectively. All three of his winners won for the first time in their careers.
Remington Park racing continues Saturday and Sunday, March 13-14, with the first race nightly at 6pm-Central.
