Glee dances to another romp in Toby Keith Stakes

Remington Park is Glee’s happy place. She won a stakes race at the Oklahoma City track by double digits for the second time this meet in Friday night's $75,000 Toby Keith.

The one-mile test for 2-year-old fillies was one of six stakes on the closing night card. The card was led by the $300,000 Springboard Mile won by Coal Battle.

Glee ($2.40) bounded home by 10 3/4 lengths in the Toby Keith, two starts after she won the E.L. Gaylord at Remington by more than 15 lengths. She was making her two-turn debut Friday night and was content to settle just off fractions of 24.07 for the opening quarter, 47.77 for the half-mile and 1:12.77.

Glee moved past the leaders and increased her advantage through the lane, while covering the distance on a fast track in 1:40.26.
