JAMIES SIN TACHA PROVES BLOODLINES RUN TRUE IN POSTING FASTEST TIME OF NIGHT IN SECOND EVENING OF REMINGTON PARK FUTURITY TRIALS
by Richard Linihan
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – April 5, 2025 – Like mother, like son. On April 4, 2014, Specials Jamie won a Remington Park Futurity trial. Eleven years and one day later, her gelded son, Jamies Sin Tacha, emulated his mother (dam) and he posted the fastest time of the second night of Remington Park Futurity trials Saturday.
Time will tell if Jamies Sin Tacha can have as illustrious a career racing as his mother. Specials Jamie went on to earn $116,172 in her time on the track, winning 3-of-13 lifetime, including the FL Lady Bug Stakes at Remington Park. Jamies Sin Tacha raced in the ninth of 10 trials on Saturday and dashed to the wire in a time of :16.484 seconds for the 330 yards, beating the time of Maverykk who went in :16.535. That time came in the second trial and held up until the ninth when Jamies Sin Tacha streaked like lightning on the overcast night from the gate and blazed to the fastest finish. The trials were conducted over a sealed and muddy track.
Jockey Christian Cardenas only rode one horse all night and it was Jamies Sin Tacha. He got a leg up from trainer James J. Gonzales III and flew down the track, passing the early leader Good Blue Candy in the final yards to get up by a half-length as the even-money favorite. Good Blue Candy also qualified for the finals.
Jamies Sin Tacha’s sire, Dulce Sin Tacha, has been one of the hottest sires on the grounds this meet at Remington Park for first-time starters. Jamies Sin Tacha’s pedigree might be just as boastful because of him as it is for his dam. Dulce Sin Tacha was an American Quarter Horse Association Champion 2-year-old and 3-year-old Colt, winning the Grade 1 Texas Classic Futurity as a juvenile at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas. He earned $693,689 in his racing career, winning 8-of-11 lifetime starts that also included second-place finishes in the Grade 1 Rainbow Derby at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico and the All American Juvenile Stakes at that track. He never ran worse than second in those 11 tries.
Jamies Sin Tacha’s race had a 23-mph tailwind. The fastest qualifier from Friday night was Entice Me Ona Monday in a faster time (:16.369 with a 17 mph tailwind over a similar racing surface). Saturday’s fastest runner earned a 99 speed-index while Entice Me Ona Monday scored a 103 on Friday night.
Jamies Sin Tacha is owned by Miguel Vargas of Grand Prairie, Texas, and the gelding was a bargain basement buy of $15,000 at the Heritage Place Yearling Sale last September. The trial score came in his first official pari-mutuel race. He was also a winner on March 12 in one of the fastest training races of the meet, covering 250 yards in a swift :13.46. The fastest training race of the meet came from Entice Me Ona Monday in :13.38.
There were 10 trials Friday night and 10 Saturday night for 2-year-old Oklahoma-bred Quarter Horses trying to qualify for the finals of the $868,455 Remington Park Futurity at 330 yards. The five fastest qualifiers in the trials from each night will face off in the finals scheduled for Saturday, April 19.
Here is a list of the qualifiers after two nights of trials with jockey, trainer, trial number (race number), time and speed-index:
SATURDAY
Jamies Sin Tacha, Christian Cardenas, James J. Gonzales III, trial nine (race 10), :16.484, 99
Eyem D Prince, Agustin Silva, Salimm Hernandez, trial nine (race 10), :16.559, 97
Ima Bigg Flash, Ali Rivera, John Stinebaugh, trial one (race two), :16.580, 96
Remington Park racing continues Sunday at 4 p.m. as 3-year-old American Quarter Horses try to qualify in trials for the Remington Park Derby and Remington Park Oaks with a 12-race card scheduled. Also, brought back after being postponed are the Grade 2, $35,156 Q-Racing Video Remington Distance Challenge for older horses going 870 yards, and the Grade 2, $68,535 AQHA Remington Park Championship Challenge for older horses at the classic distance of 440 yards. Those two stakes were postponed on a night that severe weather ended the March 29 race night early. Also Sunday, the Mr Jet Moore Stakes for older Oklahoma-breds at 350 yards.
