REVENANT MOON EXPLODES TO FASTEST TRIAL TIME AT REMINGTON PARK FOR GRADE 2 OKLAHOMA FUTURITY
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – March 9, 2021 – Revenant Moon broke like a rocket from the gate in the trials for the Grade 2 Oklahoma Futurity on Monday at Remington Park. When she hit the wire, the 2-year-old filly was in front of her competitors by two full lengths.
The time of :15.596 for 300 yards over the fast track was the fastest qualifying time in 14 trials on Monday. She will be the one to beat in the finals of the $380,000 (estimated) Oklahoma Futurity final on Saturday, March 20. The Oklahoma Futurity is the longest-running futurity in the sport of American Quarter Horse racing, with the first edition in 1947. The 2021 race will be the 80th running, held since 2006 at Remington Park.
A daughter by A Revenant, out of the FDD Dynasty mare Sochi Moon, will have her work cut out for her, however. Revenant Moon is trained by Trey Wood for owner Trey Odom, Scott Bryant and Norman W. Allen of Ropesville, Texas, and was ridden to victory by Jose Alvarez. Revenant Moon scored a speed index of 83 for her trial effort.
Revenant Moon’s sire, A Revenant, was the 2016 American Quarter Horse Association Champion 2-year-old colt when he won three-of-four starts, including winning the Grade 1 Rainbow Futurity at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico. Revenant Moon was bred in New Mexico by Dosi and Norma Alvarez.
Trainer Ruben Soto will be wearing two six-guns in the finals and shooting for the upset with his two horses – Hock It To You and De Laurentis – finishing as the second and fourth-fastest in the trials.
The top 10 qualifiers for the finals of the Oklahoma Futurity, with their jockey, trainer, trial number, times and speed index, are:
Revenant Moon, Jose Alvarez, Trey Wood, trial eight, :15.596, 83

CATHEY ACCEPTS DIRECTOR OF RACING HELM AT REMINGTON PARK
OKLAHOMA CITY – When 2023 racing begins at Remington Park, it will start with new guidance in the racing department. Kelly Cathey has accepted the director of racing position and will oversee the operation for all breeds competing at the Oklahoma City facility.
The American Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa Season will begin March 9. The 2023 Thoroughbred Season will get underway in late August.
Cathey brings more than 30 years of experience in horse racing to Remington Park. He first worked with horses in the late 1980s as a teenager, assisting his father who was a trainer. He has also served as a groom, pony person, assistant trainer, valet and assistant starter.
Cathey moved into track management in 1998 at Retama Park in Selma, Texas. He has also worked for Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas; Sam Houston Race Park in Houston and Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla. He has held nearly every position associated with racing, pari-mutuel wagering and simulcast operations throughout his career.
Since 2013 Cathey has worked for the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission as a state steward (2013-2015), advancing to the role of executive director of the commission in 2015. He will leave that post to become the director of racing at Remington Park.
“Remington Park and Global Gaming are excited to have Kelly Cathey join our racing team,” said Matt Vance, executive vice president of racing operations at Remington Park. “Kelly has a resume reflective of more than 30 years in the sport, working as a racing executive and regulator. His extensive experience with both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses and their respective organizations throughout the region makes him uniquely qualified to lead our racing department at Remington Park.”
Horsemen will bring horses onto the grounds at Remington Park beginning Feb. 6 with the initial morning of training set for Tuesday, Feb. 7. The first night of the spring season falls on Thursday, March 9 and the 50-date schedule continues through Saturday, June 3. ... ’Expand’See Less
