IM A FANCEE CHIK PULLS OFF UPSET IN JACK BROOKS STAKES
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok – May 21, 2022 – Trainer Clint Crawford’s barn stayed as hot as Oklahoma asphalt in the summer as Im a Fancee Chik was the upset winner in the restricted Grade 3 $55,000 Jack Brooks Stakes on Saturday.
After Crawford won with three horses on Friday night, he won with this 8-1 longshot in the 350-yard Jack Brooks. The race was contested by 3-year-old Oklahoma-breds. Im a Fancee Chik, a daughter of Im a Fancy PYC, out of the Smoke Glacken (TB) mare Dixie Marrone (TB), is owned by Danny and Dennis Salisbury of Woodward, Okla.. Danny bred the filly in Oklahoma.
Jockey Mario Delgado booted the winner home after a near win in the Heritage Place Derby trials last time out on May 8. She was bothered in that third place finish and was moved into second place after a disqualification. The filly lost that trial by less than a length. She is a multiple stakes winning filly at Remington Park, having won the $68,000 Laico Bird Stakes and the FL Lady Bug Stakes last year as a 2-year-old.
“When she broke in slightly at the start, I was worried,” said Delgado. “But after I got after her, she started rolling. She’s the kind of filly that if you keep busy on her she will run for you.”
Delgado was aboard her for all her stakes wins at Remington Park.
Crawford’s horses have begun to peak this week after his barn got off to a slow start early in the meet. Im a Fancee Chik always makes him happy.
“She has always been a barn favorite,” Crawford said. “I noticed she was really calm and focused in the paddock today, more than usual. So I thought, ‘Well, she’s either going to run big or not at all.’ It’s always beautiful to see her win.”
Im a Fancee Chik got to the wire a neck ahead of runner-up Pevs Jukebox (26-1), who was another head in front of third-place finisher Just a Kool Boy (3-5), the post-time heavy favorite, in a blanket finish. Running time for the winner was :17.312 over the fast track for a speed index of 99. She earned $30,000 for the victory and improved her lifetime record to 13 starts, five wins, three seconds and one third for a bankroll of $165,276.
Im A Fancee Chik paid $19.20 to win, $10.60 to place and $4.60 to show in winning the Jack Brooks Stakes.
Crawford won his second Jack Brooks Stakes. He also trained the 2018 winner, Weetonas Lafawn. This was the first win in this race for the rest of the connections.
The Jack Brooks Stakes is names after the legendary trainer from Blanchard, Okla. who retired in 2007. Brooks led the Remington Park trainer standings three times in his career, adding that local accomplishment to his eight wins in the All American Futurity, the pinnacle for 2-year-old racing American Quarter Horses. Brooks is a multiple Hall of Famer.
Remington Park racing continues Sunday with racing underway at 4 p.m. Central.

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??
