Silver Goblin Stakes-2008

On December 14, closing day of the Remington Park Thoroughbred meet, Oklahoma-bred males went to the gate in the $50,000 Silver Goblin Stakes at 6-1/2 furlongs. Okie Time went from last to first in the sprint, making his move from the back in the middle of the turn and achieving the front of the seven-horse field by the top of the stretch.

Owned by Richter Family Trust of Perkins, Okla. and trained by Donnie Von Hemel, Okie Time was ridden by Don Pettinger at odds of 16-1. The 5-year-old finished 2-1/2 lengths in front of the pace-setting Fifth Date. Last years Silver Goblin winner, Marq French, was third.

Okie Time handled 6-1/2 furlongs in 1:18.62 while paying $34.40 to win, $15.20 to place and $7.20 to show. Fifth Date paid $5.60 to place and $3.60 to show. Marq French returned $4 to show.

The Silver Goblin win was the fourth from 18 career starts for Okie Time and his first score at Remington Park. A 5-year-old gelding by Mutakddim from the Bates Motel mare Oh Boy Valoy, Okie Time earned $30,000 with the victory to move his career total to $160,532.

The Richter Family Trust and Pettinger both won their first Silver Goblin Stakes while Von Hemel won his second.
