Nice Neighbor Dominates Late to Win Big at Remington Park

September 30, 2024 Posted by Clark Shepherd News

Remington Park, September 26, 2024 — Nice Neighbor, a chestnut filly by Good Samaritan out of Whataclassylady (by Archarcharch), delivered an impressive performance in Thursday night’s allowance race, taking home the $24,000 first-place prize. Ridden by Jose L. Alvarez, the 4-year-old filly showed resilience and determination, rallying late to secure victory in the 6 1/2-furlong race on a fast dirt track.

Race Recap for Nice Neighbor

Breaking well from post position 4, Nice Neighbor settled just off the leader, pressing the pace from the two-wide position into the turn. After briefly dropping back around the bend, she found a second wind, charging down the stretch and surging past the pacesetter, Take Me Serious, to win by a comfortable margin of 1 3/4 lengths. She stopped the clock at 1:16.33, earning a strong Equibase Speed Figure of 98, the best in her recent form.

Consistent Performer

This win marks Nice Neighbor’s second victory in her last four starts, and she continues to demonstrate why she is a filly to watch. With this latest win, her 2024 earnings increase to $28,472, adding to her already impressive career earnings of $176,463. She now boasts a career record of 12 starts, 5 wins, 3 seconds, and 3 thirds, underscoring her consistency on the track.

Pedigree and Connections

Bred by Amy Marie Bayle in Oklahoma, Nice Neighbor was purchased by Highlander Training Center for $40,000 at the Fasig-Tipton February sale in 2021, with guidance from Shepherd Equine Advisers. Trained by W. Bret Calhoun, she continues to thrive under the skilled hands of her connections, proving that strategic breeding and careful race planning pay off.

Her sire, Good Samaritan, was known for his versatility on both dirt and turf, and her dam, Whataclassylady, by Archarcharch, contributed stamina and resilience, qualities evident in Nice Neighbor’s racing style. With an ideal mix of speed and endurance, she is well-positioned for continued success.

Looking Ahead for Nice Neighbor

With a commanding win and her strongest Equibase Speed Figure to date, the future looks bright for Nice Neighbor. As she gears up for the final months of the season, her connections remain optimistic about her potential to compete in upcoming stakes races, where she will look to add to her growing list of achievements.
