CHARLIES FURY WINS FIFTH STAKES RACE OF HIS CAREER, TAKING MR JET MOORE STAKES AT REMINGTON PARK
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – April 1, 2022 – Jockey Agustin Silva fell back on his old bag of tricks, getting Charlies Fury to the winner’s line first in the restricted Grade 2, $68,000 Mr Jet Moore Stakes on Thursday night at Remington Park.
“I just close my eyes and Charlie does the rest,” Silva joked. “He’s awesome.”
The 6-year-old gelding by Furyofthewind, out of the Take Off Jess mare Jess Charlena, also gained some revenge on JC Wild King. The 4-5 post-time favorite who had just beaten Charlies Fury in the Mighty Deck Three Stakes at Remington Park on March 4 at the much shorter distance of 250 yards. Charlie enjoyed stretching out to 350 yards and held on to beat that horse by a neck in the end.
It was the fifth stakes win in Charlie’s career as the big sorrel star of trainer Michelle Hurdle’s barn broke like a shot out of the gate under Silva and just kept hitting on all cylinders. He won as the 5-2 second favorite in the race and paid $7.60, $3.20 and $2.10 across the board to win, place and show.
Charlie won $40,200 for owners Tom and Kathleen McNally of Guthrie, Okla., from the purse and improved his lifetime record to 27 starts, 11 wins, seven seconds and five thirds for a bankroll of $405,801. He was bred in Oklahoma by his owners.
“He’s the favorite in the barn,” said Hurdle. “That’s what we call him. I just love him.”
Charlie stopped the timer in a time of :17.478 over the fast track for a speed index of 94. Behind JC Wild King was My Midnight Candy (3-1) another neck back of the runner-up.
Previously, Charlie had won the Grade 2, $50,000 Bob Moore Memorial Stakes here on April 17, 2021. Basically, just name a stakes after anything Moore and he is good to go. He won three other stakes races at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla. – the OQHRA Fall Classic Stakes twice in the past two years and the Will Rogers Derby Challenge Stakes as a 3-year-old on Sept. 22, 2019.
The win in the Mr Jet Moore Stakes was the first for all his connections. It was also Charlie’s third win in his last four races, and fifth trip to the winner’s circle in his last seven races. At Remington Park, Charlie has now won 7-of-16 starts for $241,949.
The Mr Jet Moore Stakes is named in honor of the 1972 American Quarter Horse Association World Champion who was bred in Oklahoma by the late Bob Moore. Among his many accomplishments, Mr Jet Moore won the inaugural Champion of Champions race at Los Alamitos in Southern California in 1972. The race is the richest event for older Quarter Horses in North America.
Live racing continues Friday and Saturday night at 6 p.m. with 11 trials on tap each night for 2-year-old Oklahoma-bred Quarter Horses trying to qualify for the finals of the restricted Grade 1, $973,665 Remington Park Futurity that will be run on Saturday, April 16. The top five fastest times from each night will qualify as the 10 finalists.

The Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association (OQHRA) has confirmed the detection of Olodaterol through pre-entry hair testing protocols required for participation at Oklahoma racetracks. Olodaterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, a class of bronchodilators that includes strictly prohibited substances such as clenbuterol, albuterol, and carmoterol.
Olodaterol is not an approved substance in racehorses, and its presence constitutes a violation of integrity standards. The positive findings were made as a condition of entry through OQHRA-managed hair testing, not by the regulatory body, and as such, horses testing positive were ruled ineligible for entry.
While reports of Olodaterol have surfaced in other states through hair samples, OQHRA is not currently aware of any confirmed positives in blood or urine samples. This reinforces the value of hair testing in identifying substances that may otherwise go undetected.
“This is a clear example of why hair testing matters,” said Krissy Bamberg, Executive Director of OQHRA. “Whether used pre-entry to prevent horses from competing, or post-race for official adjudication, hair testing provides a longer detection window and a clearer picture of the medications and substances a horse has been exposed to.”
OQHRA will continue to support and expand the use of hair testing as part of its integrity and welfare program. In addition, the association will continue to advocate for the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission to adopt hair testing as a standard matrix within the state’s official biological testing program. This includes both post-race testing and out-of-competition testing.
“We strongly encourage the Commission to expand its use of hair testing,” said Bamberg. “It's a reliable, science-based tool that gives regulators the ability to detect long-term exposure to prohibited substances and strengthens our ability to ensure fairness and safety in the sport.”
OQHRA and our partner racetracks remain committed to identifying and deterring the use of new and emerging substances and protecting the integrity of racing in Oklahoma. ... ’Expand’See Less

Why don’t you just require hair testing in test barn of top 2 finishers. Wouldn’t that be a more accurate chance to catch abuse?
You don’t find it in blood and urine because hair testing is highly variable and substances can last for years after it’s been administered.
Felipe Martinez this what you Ben saying all along
The Louisiana Racing Commission STILL does not recognize the hair testing we owners have been paying for the last few years!
Guess you missed the news from LA??
