BOOMIN WITH EAGLES WINS FOR THIRD TIME IN LAST FOUR TRIES FROM RED-HOT TOBY KEETON BARN
Written by Richard Linehan
OKLAHOMA CITY – March 24, 2022 – Boomin With Eagles jumped on top early and was ahead late, outlasting a field of eight other horses in the featured starter allowance race on Thursday night at Remington Park.
It was the third win in the 4-year-old mare’s last four starts from the sizzling hot barn of trainer Toby Keeton. Last year’s top rider at Remington Park, Juan Pulido, was in the saddle for the victory.
The daughter of Flyingwitheagles, out of the Heza Fast Man mare Trista Boom, broke her maiden in October at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas and has been virtually impossible to beat since then. She ran second, beaten only a head in starter-optional claiming company the next time out at Lone Star and then started another winning streak. She won with $20,000 claiming non-winners of two races in her next Texas start before taking some time off before returning here.
It was the first time Boomin With Eagles raced at Remington Park, but she showed she is tough to beat when she gets first jump out of the gate. Pulido made sure she got that and she finished a head in front of 3-1 favorite JF Princess Storm.
Boomin With Eagles, owned by Three Bar T Quarter Horses (Debbie Tiffee) of Kingsville, Texas, was sent off at 6-1 odds and paid $14.20, $4 and $5.20 across the board to win, place and show. She earned an 88 speed index with her winning time of :15.518 for 300 yards on a fast track. Go Rhonda Go (17-1 longshot) checked in third, another head back in the blanket finish.
Boomin With Eagles earned $13,524 for her victory from the $25,410 purse and improved her lifetime record to six starts, three wins and two seconds for $33,538 earned. Her winning drive came up the rail from the post-position one. She was bred in New Mexico by Pair O Dice Ranch.
It was one of two wins for Pulido on Thursday night. He also won race six aboard The Heavy Favorite, who actually went off as the second favorite in the race at 4-1. He rode that winner for trainer Juan Torres.
The two Pulido victories moved him into a tie for third place in the jockey standings with eight trips to the winner’s circle. Francisco Calderon and Jesus Salazar also have eight each. Jorge Torres rode two winners Thursday and resides in second with 10 wins, three behind leader Cody Smith at 13.
Keeton’s barn has been sending out nothing but winners in his short stint this meet here, scoring with four-of-nine starts for a 44 percent win clip. He also has had a second and third. In the trainer standings, he is tied for ninth. Only Bill Goodnight, who also has four wins, is hotter with four winners from six starters.
Live racing continues with the first Food Truck Friday promotion on March 25. First post time is 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, then 4 p.m. on Sunday. All times are Central.

CATHEY ACCEPTS DIRECTOR OF RACING HELM AT REMINGTON PARK
OKLAHOMA CITY – When 2023 racing begins at Remington Park, it will start with new guidance in the racing department. Kelly Cathey has accepted the director of racing position and will oversee the operation for all breeds competing at the Oklahoma City facility.
The American Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa Season will begin March 9. The 2023 Thoroughbred Season will get underway in late August.
Cathey brings more than 30 years of experience in horse racing to Remington Park. He first worked with horses in the late 1980s as a teenager, assisting his father who was a trainer. He has also served as a groom, pony person, assistant trainer, valet and assistant starter.
Cathey moved into track management in 1998 at Retama Park in Selma, Texas. He has also worked for Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas; Sam Houston Race Park in Houston and Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla. He has held nearly every position associated with racing, pari-mutuel wagering and simulcast operations throughout his career.
Since 2013 Cathey has worked for the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission as a state steward (2013-2015), advancing to the role of executive director of the commission in 2015. He will leave that post to become the director of racing at Remington Park.
“Remington Park and Global Gaming are excited to have Kelly Cathey join our racing team,” said Matt Vance, executive vice president of racing operations at Remington Park. “Kelly has a resume reflective of more than 30 years in the sport, working as a racing executive and regulator. His extensive experience with both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses and their respective organizations throughout the region makes him uniquely qualified to lead our racing department at Remington Park.”
Horsemen will bring horses onto the grounds at Remington Park beginning Feb. 6 with the initial morning of training set for Tuesday, Feb. 7. The first night of the spring season falls on Thursday, March 9 and the 50-date schedule continues through Saturday, June 3. ... ’Expand’See Less
It continues to be the goal of Remington Park and OQHRA to provide a race meeting of the highest quality and integrity. As a condition of entry, no horse will be allowed to enter a race at Remington Park unless results of a negative hair test have been provided to Remington Park prior to entry. All pre-entry hair testing will be facilitated by OQHRA. Pre-entry hair tests will be good for 90 days beginning the day after the sample is collected. All tests will expire after 90 days and horses must re-test to remain eligible, regardless of if the horse started in a race within those 90 days. In no event will a horse be eligible to enter a race unless a current negative hair test is on file at Remington Park in accordance with the conditions set forth in the condition book. The Remington Park Racing Office nor OQHRA staff receive the results of hair testing. All test results submitted to Remington Park management will remain confidential. Any horse receiving a positive hair test will be unable to enter until a negative test is obtained, there is no penalty to the trainer.
To better serve horsemen, OQHRA will be setting up offsite testing days at Retama Park, Lone Star Park and Blue Ribbon Downs. The OQHRA testing crew will be available at each location one day, allowing horsemen the opportunity to get horses tested closer to where they are stabled/training. Horses needing to be tested in other states do have the opportunity to have an offsite test done by a state veterinarian working under the auspices of a State Regulatory Agency.
