OKLAHOMA CITY –  Thursday, May 19, 2016  -- The racing weekend started on a cool and wet Thursday evening at Remington Park. Light rain and sloppy going suited a pair of jockeys very well as both Oscar Delgado and Daniel Torres each won three races.

Delgado scored his triple first starting with a win in the second race of the night with One Hot Senator ($5.80 to win). Delgado waited until race seven to pick up his next victory with JA Long Gone Gol ($10.80) and then completed the three-win night with Steel Dust ($11.20) in the ninth race.

Torres picked up the first of his three wins with Carpe Diem Drew ($3.40) in the fifth race. He then won both halves of the late daily double with Ruby Wagon ($17.60) in the 10th race and then Dingus Oak ($9.20) in the 11th and final race of the night.

Delgado’s triple gives him a total of six wins on the season while the three triumphs for Torres pushed his total to 26 wins.

Remington Park racing continues Friday night, May 20 at 6pm. The Grade 1, $30,000 Mister Lewie Memorial for Paints and Appaloosas is the feature stakes event of the evening. World Champion Painted Turnpike will attempt his third stakes win of the season in the Mister Lewie, a 400-yard race. The talented 3-year-old has won 10 of his 11 career races.
