JT IM THAT BOY PROVES BEST IS SAVED FOR LAST, POSTING FASTEST TRIAL TIME FOR REMINGTON PARK FUTURITY IN FINAL RACE OF NIGHT
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — April 7, 2023 – JT Im That Boy proved he was exactly that as the 2-year-old colt posted the fastest time of the night in the 10th and final trial for the $804,150 Remington Park Futurity that will be run Saturday, April 22.
JT Im That Boy showed signs of the kind of talent his sire (dad), TF Im That Guy, had. The fastest qualifier from Friday night hit the wire three-quarters of a length in front for the 330-yard run in a time of :17.020 over a fast track, earning a speed index of 84. Thursday’s fastest qualifier was JB Kool Jess, who finished in :16.613 with a 96 speed index. Both nights had a slight crosswind.
It was the first official win of JT Im That Boy’s career in his first start and he brought to mind memories of the 2015 All American Futurity. His sire, TF Im That Guy, ran a close third to the winner that year, Jess Good Candy. TF Im That Guy finished third, a length and a neck behind. He went on to win $698,144 in his career, visiting the winner’s circle six times in 24 starts. He was a horse that raced primarily in New Mexico. His biggest win came in the Grade 1, $350,000 Championship at Sunland Park Stakes on New Year’s Eve on 2017.
The win by jockey Roman Cruz aboard JT Im That Boy was his 14th of the meet and he moved one in front of Juan Pulido and Edwin Escobedo at 13 apiece in the tight battle. Last year’s leading rider, Francisco Calderon, had a win Friday night to move into sole possession of fourth place with 10 wins. Three-time AQHA Champion Jockey James Flores is in fifth at nine victories.
JT Im That Boy was sent off as the 9-5 favorite for trainer Jeffrey Tyer and owner Juanita Tyer of Oaks, Okla., and earned $8,838 for the colt’s career debut.
JT Im That Boy is out of the Dashin Chico broodmare Sweet Chico and was bred in Oklahoma by his owner.
The five fastest qualifiers from Friday night join the five fastest from Thursday night’s 10 trials for a run in the restricted Grade 1 Remington Park Futurity final. The race is restricted to Oklahoma-bred 2-year-old American Quarter Horses.

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??
