Exciting Weekend Ahead: Local Horses and Jockeys Shine at Remington Park Races This Saturday

Remington Park Racetrack is preparing for a horse racing event this Saturday, featuring a full 12-race schedule with nine stakes races. The main event, the $854,775 Remington Park Futurity (RG1), is a 330-yard race for 2-year-old quarter horses from Oklahoma. Ten horses will compete, starting at 6 p.m. CDT.

Cowgirls Can Fly, a sorrel filly, leads the contenders in the Futurity. Trained by Leonardo Alcala and owned by Marisol Alvarado, she won her qualifying trial earlier this month. She was bought for $33,000 at the Heritage Place Yearling Sale and is now the 3-1 morning-line favorite. Noe Garcia will ride her from post 8.

Flying Wrangler, another strong contender, will race from post 3. Trained by Stacey Capps and ridden by Eugenio Navarette Jr., this gelding has won both of his races so far. The Futurity lineup includes several promising horses and experienced jockeys.

The Remington Park Derby (RG1) will also take place, featuring Oklahoma-bred sophomores racing over 400 yards for a $169,175 purse. RJ Having Fun, a gelded son of PYC Fun N Fancy, is a notable entry. Trained by Toby Keeton and ridden by Juan Pulido, he has earned over $266,666 and won the Dash For Cash Futurity (G1).
