QUEEN FOR CASH WINS FOR FOURTH TIME IN FIVE RACES, TAKING SPEEDHORSE GRAHAM PAINT & APPALOOSA STAKES
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – March 21, 2021– Queen for Cash returned to the top of the heap for 3-year-old Paints and Appaloosas on Saturday night, winning the Grade 1, $43,950 Speedhorse Graham Paint and Appaloosa Stakes.
The 3-year-old Appaloosa filly had a slight blip in her last race, on May 30 at Remington Park last year, running third in the final of the Speedhorse Graham Paint and Appaloosa Futurity, her only career loss. Queen for Cash has now won four-of-five starts lifetime, including this first attempt as a 3-year-old and the Victoria Ennis Stakes at Remington Park last April. The daughter of Hes Relentless (QH), out of the Ivory James (QH) mare Ivory Queen earned $26,880 from the purse for the win, improving to $59,743 in her young career.
Queen for Cash was never worse than second and outlasted Tales U Lose and WF Turnpike Candy by a head and a nose at the wire, respectively. Jockey Daniel Torres remained white hot for his trainer Carlos Ruiz, winning for the third time as a combo on Saturday night when Queen for Cash crossed the finish line. The filly was bred in Oklahoma by her owner Gary Vaughan of Coalgate, Okla.
Queen for Cash handled the 350-yards over a fast track in :17.818 seconds, good for a speed index of 82. She was running into an 11mph headwind
Away at 7-2 odds, Queen for Cash was the third wagering favorite in the race. WF Turnpike Candy was the beaten favorite at 8-5 odds. Queen for Cash paid $9.80, $6 and $3.80 across the board to win, place and show. The $2 exacta, with Tales U Lose a 28-1 longshot in second, was worth $196.20 to those who bet it. Mammy Jammer, the second favorite at 3-1, could do no better than ninth in the field of 10.
Live racing continues Sunday, March 21 with first post time of 6pm-Central.

In partnership with the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association (OQHRA), all Oklahoma racetracks—Remington Park, Fair Meadows at Tulsa, and Will Rogers Downs—have announced expanded hair testing measures for the 2026 Quarter Horse, Paint, and Appaloosa race meets. While pre-entry hair testing has been a condition of entry since 2018, the updated policy builds on that foundation by introducing new layers of accountability and a unified approach across all tracks.
“We are expanding our integrity efforts and working to hold everyone accountable for the horses in their care,” said Krissy Bamberg, Executive Director of OQHRA. “This is a collective effort among all Oklahoma tracks to protect the integrity of the sport and the welfare of the horse.”
The 2026 updates include a new provision that will exclude any trainer from participating at Oklahoma tracks for the remainder of a meet if three or more horses in their care test positive through official pre-entry hair tests for any prohibited substance. In addition, any owner with three or more positive tests during the meet will also be deemed ineligible to participate for the remainder of that meet.
Another upgrade to the policy is the expansion of unofficial testing. This informational hair-testing option will be available beginning with the fall yearling sales. These test kits can be requested through OQHRA. The hair samples can be collected by the owner or trainer and submitted to the lab for testing; results of these unofficial tests will not be considered official for entry purposes, but they will allow owners or trainers who have acquired horses from other barns to voluntarily test them in advance of entry to ensure they are clear of prohibited substances. It offers peace of mind, particularly before making financial commitments such as nomination fees, training investments, or early race preparations. It is important to note that many Sale Companies offer hair testing as a buyer protection within 24 hours of the sale; buyers are encouraged to contact the sales companies about the options available.
“Integrity is the backbone of everything we do,” said Matt Vance, Executive Vice President at Remington Park. “These policies help preserve the integrity of the sport by holding those who choose not to play by the rules accountable. We are proud to work with other Oklahoma tracks and OQHRA to lead the way in promoting fair competition in Quarter Horse racing.”
The core hair testing requirement remains in place: every Quarter Horse, Paint, or Appaloosa must submit to a one-time, pre-entry hair test before starting at any Oklahoma track. Official test results are sent directly to the racetrack, and positive results will lead to exclusion for the duration of that meet. These exclusions are track-specific only and do not constitute regulatory suspensions; participants remain eligible at other tracks unless a separate jurisdiction elects to take action. All horses with official positive tests will be listed publicly at www.OQHRA.com, and test results may be shared with other jurisdictions upon request.
To make the process easier for horsemen, farm visits for hair testing will be available in January and early February for Oklahoma-based trainers with 40 or more horses.
All details of the 2026 hair testing policy, including the unofficial testing option, are available at www.OQHRA.com or by calling (405) 881-5120. ... ’Expand’See Less
Won't matter Justin is so far ahead of the tracks, everyone knows you can't win a big race without the JRJ.
Thank you,
However we have got to get the results back presale from these yearlings sales at the Ruidoso Downs Race Track and Casino select sale and the New Mexico bred.
The Texas Quarter Horse sale needs it as well.
Oklahoma QHRA should at least mandate that the horse that are breeders and fitters are marketing for it be tested pre sale date with the horse .
Think of how Heritage Place would not want any part of a horse owner wanting his money back on a horse he bought from similar to large sale horse provider like the Flag Ranches size.
He would have to choose to do the right thing and force the return of the large ranch for illegal substances.
If we could get one sale barn to step up and require this
, we would owe it to them to get the others to follow suit to with the presale testing.
