Oklahoma City, OK, December 16, 2024 – Bryan Hawk of Shawnee, Okla., leading owner this season at Re*****on Park for the first time, visibly choked up, pointed to the sky and said, “C W Prize is special; this one is for you, brother. Amen!”

C W Prize had just won the $75,000 Jeffrey Hawk Memorial, a race named after Bryan’s late brother, who passed away from complications after surgery in 2017.

C W Prize, at 9-2 odds under jockey Richard Eramia, was the easy winner of the route stakes for older horses, defeating some excellent runners, including last year’s winner of this race – U.S. Army. Eramia got this 4-year-old Oklahoma-bred gelding by Code West, out of the Pure Prize mare M B Prize, to win by 3-1/2 lengths, going one-mile, 70 yards, leading every step of the way.

Not only did C W Prize beat the defending champ of the Hawk, but he finished ahead of multiple stakes winner Number One Dude and arguably one of the top horses racing in this region of the country, Silver Prospector. Number One Dude is a five-time stakes winner here and Silver Prospector won the Southwest Stakes, a graded race at Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Ark., when he was a 3-year-old. Silver Prospector, a career earner of more than $1.6 million, was also a multiple winner at Re*****on Park this meet.

The 12-1 longshot, Victory for Vets, was the runner-up in the Jeffrey Hawk Memorial, four more lengths ahead of third-place finisher Silver Prospector (5-2 second wagering favorite in this field). U.S. Army (6-5 betting favorite) rounded out the top four, 1-1/4 lengths behind Silver Prospector. The rest of the finish past the top four were Mazuma (8-1) in fifth, Number One Dude (22-1) sixth, Paluxy (60-1) seventh, Fowler Blue (17-1) eighth and Logical Myth (19-1) last.

“This race for my brother is something I’ve always wanted to win,” said Bryan, who owns C W Prize and bred him.

C W Prize earned $45,000 from the purse and boosted his lifetime record to 15 starts, seven wins, three seconds and four thirds for a bankroll of $236,426. The winner had been stakes placed twice this meet against Oklahoma-breds, but the Hawk was his first black-type win ever, and it came against open-company competition.

The C W Prize victory almost seemed ordained. Not only did a Hawk win the Hawk, but C W Prize’s paternal grandsire, Lemon Drop Kid, just passed away this week at age 28. The Champion Older Horse of 2000, earned $3.2 million in his career. Those bloodlines shone strong on Friday night as C W Prize refused to lose.

“He has had a super year,” said his trainer, Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Famer Joe Offolter. “I’m so proud of him and Richard rode him so intelligently with that slow pace.”

After running second in the $131,000 Oklahoma Classics Cup at 1-1/16th miles on Oct. 18 and second in the $50,000 Silver Goblin Stakes at 6-1/2 furlongs here on Nov. 8, Eramia milked that slow pace in the Hawk to a wire-to-wire win.

“It was perfect for me,” Eramia said. “At the quarter-pole, he really picked up the bit and I knew he was gone.”

C W Prize made every pole a winning one, going :24.22 for the first quarter-mile, :47.71 for the half-mile, 1:11.83 for three-quarters of a mile and finished in 1:42.96 over the fast track. The race was hand-timed by Equibase. C W Prize paid $11 to win, $5.40 to place and $4 to show.

This was the first win in the Hawk Memorial by all of the connections of C W Prize.

Oklahoma City, OK, December 16, 2024 – Miss Code West put in a bid for her second Horse of the Meet award at Re*****on Park, winning her third stakes race of this season, taking the $50,000 Useeit Stakes with ease, drawing off by 8-1/4 lengths as the heavy wagering favorite at 1-9 odds.

The only race Miss Code West lost this season was the $200,000 Re*****on Park Oaks on Sept. 29 against open-company, when the shipper Alpine Princess came in for one of the nation’s top trainers, Brad Cox, to win that stakes, while Miss Code West checked in second. Alpine Princess’ next start was a near-win in the Grade 3, $194,000 Comely Stakes when she ran second, beaten only a head at Belmont at Aqueduct on Nov. 30. She lost by a head to Pretty Anna in that New York effort.

Miss Code West piled up three stakes wins – the $50,000 Oklahoma Stallion Stakes on Sept. 6 by 5-1/4 lengths, the $111,000 Oklahoma Classics Distaff on Oct. 18 by four lengths and the Useeit Stakes on Friday night. All three wins were against fellow-Oklahoma-breds.

Floyd Wethey, Jr., the regular rider for Miss Code West, had her under wraps for the last sixteenth of a mile. This 3-year-old filly by Code West, out of the Kipling mare Inca Miss, finished the one mile over a fast main track in 1:39.52. Wethey placed her third down the backstretch and made his move as she began to track the leaders in the far turn. By the time Miss Code West hit the top of the stretch, she had a three-length lead.

The pacesetter in the race, Low Euro Cat (56-1 odds) had carved out interior fractions of :25.16 for the first quarter-mile, :49.03 for the half-mile and 1:13.69 for three-quarters of a mile. Miss Code West hit the next pole in front, going seven-furlongs in 1:26.15.

Miss Code West paid $2.10 to win, place and show. Letta’s Legacy (8-1 second betting favorite) was second, another 4-3/4 lengths ahead of third-place finisher Devious Diva (112-1). The rest of the order of finish was Code of the South (125-1) fourth, Blue Moon River (125-1) fifth, C W Charm (44-1) sixth, Okie Magic (54-1) seventh and Low Euro Cat last.

Coming into this meet, Miss Code West’s trainer Kevin Scholl was confident she would return to form despite her running eighth in the $200,000 Ouija Board Distaff on the turf at Lone Star Park on May 27. Once Scholl worked her over the Re*****on Park dirt surface for the first time this fall, he came back all smiles.

“She told me she was glad to be back at her track,” Scholl said. “On the track, she is smart and has a lot of class.”

Miss Code West earned $30,000 from the purse for her owners Jeffry and Julie Puryear of Denton, Texas, and improved her career marks to 12 starts, nine wins, and one second for earnings of $390,934. She was bred by Bryan Hawk. The Puryears bought her out of a Texas yearling sale for $12,000, which is proving to be the bargain of the decade.

It was the first win in the Useeit Stakes series for all the connections.

The Useeit Stakes is named after the Oklahoma-based broodmare from the early 1900s who produced Black Gold, the winner of the 1924 Kentucky Derby. Both Useeit and Black Gold were owned by Oklahomans Al and Rosa Hoots.
