For Immediate Release – Oklahoma City, OK – September 19, 2024 – Every day of the calendar year is a “national day” for something. Thursday, September 19, 2024 produced a winner at Remington Park that fit the national status perfectly.
Arr Piratetreasure rallied down the stretch to win by a nose in the evening’s fifth race, perfectly placed on National Talk Like A Pirate Day. The 3-year-old filly battled to catch wagering favorite Matagora Bay in the final strides. The effort had to make any hunch player that matched Arr Piratetreasure up to the national gimmick day extremely happy as she paid $24.80 to win.
Remington Park announcer Dale Day went along with the national theme during the stretch call as Arr Piratetreasure prevailed.
Owned by the Ooltewah, Tenn. partnership of Danele Durham, Vinny Pigue, Rockin W Racing Stable LLC and Toby Brown, Arr Piratetreasure is trained by Durham and was ridden to victory by Lindey Wade. The triumph was her career first, defeating six other females in the maiden special weight event at 6-1/2 furlongs on the main track. An Arkansas-bred by Palace Malice from the Blame broodmare Thatbossanovasound, Arr Piratetreasure has one win, one second and one third from her six career attempts.
