Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:

3RD RACE – (5) WHO’S BETTER leaves a competent Meadows barn for a competent barn here. Twenty-three days between tries doesn’t enamor us, though.

4TH RACE – (2) MOUNT ROYAL has been far from inspiring all year, but sees inner half of gate for first time in while. Check-getting efforts lately, perhaps.

5TH RACE – (4) PROPHET BLUE CHIP is a seasonal 1-fer, but last time in this class, third in freaky-fast mile. Winner here won’t be nearly as swift, however.

8TH RACE – (3) RUN ONEOVER N hasn’t been in this cheap in quite some time. Simply ought to be better than these, stunned if he’s not controlling this race.

9TH RACE – (7) SOFER is, quite frankly, somewhat of reach here. That said, logical choice directly inside of him has run hot and cold and could tow this one in.

10TH RACE – (7) SOLO STORY may not be able to work with these, return venue after being claimed. Gonna need help, gonna be price as well in tough finale.

$2 +/- (thru Thu., Sept. 6) – 242 wins ($1,972.20)

Trainer Bret Calhoun continued his red hot streak Thursday night at Remington Park, getting his fifth winner of the meet from only 16 starters as he took the featured eighth race with Night Strike.

The 3-year-old colt was sent off at 2-1 odds and held off Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Famer Donnie Von Hemel’s late-charging favorite Rowdy The Warrior by a head. Rowdy The Warrior also went off at 2-1, but had slightly more money wagered on him than the winner. Call a Cop at 5-2 got up for third another three lengths back.

Night Strike paid $6.80 to win, $3.40 to place and $2.20 to show across the board. He earned $24,922 from a purse of $43,350, increasing his lifetime bankroll past the $100,000 mark to $119,302. The sophomore Oklahoma-bred son of Liaison, out of the Smart Strike mare Concert Strike has now won 2-of-11 in his career. He covered the 1 mile-70 yards in 1:41.84 seconds over a fast track.

Asmussen had a training double with jockey Ramon Vazquez aboard both winners… Vazquez posted a riding triple, winning another race on Thursday for trainer Boyd Caster. The hat trick tied Vazquez with Richard Eramia for second place in the jockey standings. They each have nine victories apiece for the meet, two behind top rider David Cabrera with 11.
