Remington: She’s All In keeps streak going in Ladies on the Lawn
Posted by zoellner in News From The Track | December 7, 2012She’s All In won her fourth consecutive race while defending her title in the $50,000 Ladies on the Lawn at Remington Park on Friday night.
The one-mile race for Oklahoma-bred fillies and mares was moved to the main track following last week’s decision to call off turf racing for the remainder of the meet.
She’s All In won by 2 3/4 lengths over Going Okie, and it was another 1 1/4 lengths back in third to Miss Natalie. She’s All In ($3) settled into a stalking position behind Miss Natalie and Miranda Diane, who were prominent through fractions of 24.46 seconds for the opening quarter and 48.41 for the half-mile. Miss Natalie continued to lead through six furlongs in 1:13.06 before being overtaken by She’s All In, who went on to cover the distance on a fast track in 1:38.04.
Glen Murphy rode the winner for Robert Zoellner and trainer Donnie Von Hemel.
She’s All In had won the $100,000 River Cities at Louisiana Downs in September and an allowance and the $128,000 Oklahoma Classics Distaff at Remington in October leading up to the Ladies on the Lawn. She has now won 10 of 19 starts and $423,122.
She’s All In will likely run next during the Oaklawn Park meet that opens in January, according to Von Hemel.

OPENING NIGHT TURF DISTAFF TO AN ALL OUT SHE’S ALL IN
Posted by zoellner in News From The Track | October 11, 2012OPENING NIGHT TURF DISTAFF TO AN ALL OUT SHE’S ALL IN
For Immediate Release
Friday, August 10, 2012
OKLAHOMA CITY – The 2012 Remington Park Season opened on a pleasant Friday for early August in Oklahoma City. Those in attendance witnessed a great stretch run in the featured $44,500 Redbud Distaff allowance as graded stakes winner She’s All In battled for a neck victory over longshot Guanabara Gal.
Owned by Robert Zoellner of Tulsa, Okla. and trained by Donnie Von Hemel, She’s All In made her move for the front around the final turn of the 7-1/2 furlong turf event. Jockey Luis Quinonez had the 5-year-old Oklahoma-bred mare in position at the top of the lane but Guanabara Gal had other ideas.
Under Benny Landeros, Guanabara Gal had taken control of the race before leaving the backstretch. When challenged in the final furlong by 3-5 wagering favorite She’s All In, Guanabara Gal dug in to hold her position. The game effort was not enough as She’s All In had a little more, getting up in the final strides while crossing the finish in 1:30.20 over a firm turf course.
She’s All In paid $3.40 to win, $2.40 to place and $2.20 to show. Guanabara Gal returned $12.60 to place and $5.80 to show. Patty’s Pride was third and paid $4.40 to show.
The victory for She’s All In was her 12th from 26 career starts and her seventh in just nine attempts at Remington Park. A mare by Include from the Hickory Ridge mare Georgia OK, She’s All In has been the top Oklahoma-bred female in racing for the past two years, winning multiple stakes races in open company as well as scoring in her home state. She cruised to an easy win in the Grade 3, $200,000 Sixty Sails Handicap at Hawthorne Racecourse in Chicago in April. The winner’s share on Friday night, $28,245, moved her career earnings to $640,867.
A pair of stakes races will head the program for the second night of the season on Saturday, Aug. 11 as the $200,000 Governor’s Cup and the $100,000 David M. Vance Stakes are contested. Remington Park’s first race on Saturday is at 6:30pm.
Open daily at 10am for casino gaming and simulcast racing, Remington Park features the Bricktown Brewery on the casino floor. Admission, general parking and valet parking are always free at Remington Park.

Open house held at Rockin Z Ranch
On January 23rd, the Rockin Z Ranch held an open house to showcase their three stallions, Omega Code, Fast Play and Service Stripe. A very good crowd was present at the Beggs, Oklahoma ranch which belongs to Dr. Robert Zoellner, O.D. He owns the stallions in partnership and the stallions were presented for viewing. A drawing for a free breeding to the stallion of choice was offered. There were also drawings for feed, shavings and other items. Attendees were fed hamburgers and hotdogs, with beverages.
Dr Zoellner, has two offices in the Tulsa area. He has been married for 25 years and has three children. Dr. “Z” as he is affectionately known to his friends became involved in the horse business about 10 years ago. He said that from an early age he loved horses and wanted to get involved with them. He purchased 2 two year olds at the Fasig Tipton sale at Lone Star Park, and raced them having moderate success.
