SANIDEE WINS THIRD RACE IN SIX STARTS, FIRST VICTORY AT REMINGTON PARK, TAKING FEATURED ALLOWANCE RACE
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – April 16, 2021 – Sanidee won for the first time at Remington Park in the featured allowance race Friday night but he made it to the winner’s circle for the third time in his last four starts.
An indication that this 3-year-old gelding might turn into something special came in a race at Remington Park a little more than a year ago. On April 2, 2020, in Oklahoma City, Sanidee went to post as the 8-5 favorite in a maiden race. He lost by a nose to a horse named Candy Blood in that start. A couple of weeks ago, Candy Blood ran the fastest trial to qualify for the finals of the restricted Grade 2 $355,800 Remington Park Derby that is a part of a card that features the restricted Grade 1 $926,500 Remington Park Futurity the. The card also includes six other stakes races.
Sanidee might have raced in the Remington Park Derby trials but it is restricted to Oklahoma-breds. This 3-year-old gelded son of Dominyum, out of the Ivory James mare Sanibel, was bred in Texas by Bobby D. Cox. So he settled for this $26,000 allowance race for 3-year-olds and outlasted his competition. He blasted out of the gate second into the stretch and passed them all before having to hold off the late charge of 8-1 longshot Apollitical J Julia, who lost by a neck. She was another neck in front of Fly Miss Corona Jess (16-1). This was one of three wins for second-leading rider Francisco Calderon. Jockey Jorge Torres also had a three-bagger in the jockeys’ race.
The 2-1 favorite, Lil Latin Lupe Lou, finished fifth in a blanket finish that wasn’t much more than a length behind the winner.
Sanidee earned $11,872 for the victory and improved to six starts, three wins, two seconds for $31,562 earnings in his short career. Juan L. Vazquez trains the winner for Cox. Running time for the 300 yards was :15.139 seconds, earning a blistering speed index of 99 on a sloppy track. Sanidee, second favorite at 5-2, paid $7.60, $4.60 and $3.80 to win, place and show.
The rest of the week’s live racing schedule is Saturday and Sunday with first post time of 6 p.m. nightly.

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??
