FLAT OUT KELCE BOUNCES BACK FROM DISMAL LOSS TO WIN FEATURED ALLOWANCE RACE OVER MUDDY TRACK ON MISTY HALLOWEEN NIGHT


For Immediate Release
Saturday, October 31, 2026


OKLAHOMA CITY – A lot of kids were out Saturday night, pretending to be Kansas City Chiefs and one filly at Remington Park, Flat Out Kelce, looked a lot like their tight end for whom she was named.

The 3-year-old Oklahoma-bred filly looked like Travis Kelce scoring a touchdown in her race to the goal line, or in this case, the finish line as she held off a fast-closing 3-5 favorite, Lanaluah, in the final strides of the 6-furlong allowance race over a muddy track. The only thing missing was Taylor Swift cheering the horse on as she crossed the finish line. Jockey Ronnie Huckaby got his second win of the night when he guided Flat Out Kelce to the win at 7-2 odds.

Flat Out Kelce bounced back from one of her worst races ever when she ran sixth at Remington Park, finishing 12 lengths behind the winner of the Oklahoma Classics Distaff Sprint Handicap on Oct. 16, Letta’s Legacy. Lanaluah also was in that race and ran third, finishing 5-1/2 lengths back. It was downright spooky on this Halloween night how Flat Out Kelce came back to life only one race after looking like a kid that had had too much candy in the previous race.

The filly is a daughter of Flat Out, the top-rated sire standing in Oklahoma. His progeny have earnings of $1,709,188 this year. He appears to have another top runner in Flat Out Kelce as she won her second consecutive race in allowance conditions. Following Flat Out on the Oklahoma sires list are Code West, Caleb’s Posse, Atreides and Den’s Legacy to round out the top five.

Huckaby had also won an earlier race on the nine-event card on a misty night at this Oklahoma City track. He was aboard Thunders Rocknroll in the seventh race, winning as the 3-5 favorite for trainer Patrick Swan and owner Robert E. Lindgren of Bloomington, Minn. Thunders Rocknroll is a Minnesota-bred.

Flat Out Kelce, from the Added Edge mare Storm Fury, is trained by Travis Murphy and owned by Travis and Emmett Murphy. She was bred in Oklahoma by Cindy Murphy in this family affair. She is Travis’ wife. Flat Out Kelce earned $23,868 from the $40,000 purse after hitting the wire in 1:11.45 for the 6 furlongs. She sat mid-pack under Huckaby the first half of the race after breaking poorly from the gate and then cut into early fractions of :21.97 for the first quarter-mile and :45.19 for the half, where she came up the inside rail to pass the leaders. In another eerie Halloween coincidence, a horse named Surely Swift, set up Flat Out Kelce’s late kick by putting up those early hot fractions. Flat Out Kelce made the lead and did five-eighths of a mile in :57.81.

She paid $9.80 to win, $3 to place and $2.40 to show. Lanaluah got up for second, a neck behind the winner and the pair of them were another 2-1/2 lengths ahead of third-place finisher Den’s Dazzler (4-1).

Flat Out Kelce improved her career record to nine starts, three wins, three seconds and one third for a bankroll of $96,130
