SOUTHERN SEIS PUTS UP FASTEST TIME AMONG QUALIFIERS FOR $159,095 REMINGTON PARK OAKS
Oklahoma City, OK — April 9, 2023 – Southern Seis had the misfortune of running against Tres Crystals at Remington Park last year in the Oklahoma Futurity, who also went on to win the Heritage Place Futurity, a $1 million race.
In Saturday’s trials for the $159,095 Remington Park Oaks, the 3-year-old Oklahoma-bred filly didn’t have to dodge the Texas-bred monster Tres Crystals, and it worked to her favor, putting up the fastest time of all qualifiers in the trials restricted to eligible Oklahoma-bred 3-year-old fillies.
Last year, the 3-year-old filly by Tres Seis, out of the Mr Jess Perry mare Southern Miss, ran her heart out but finished fifth in the Oklahoma Futurity, beaten only a length by Tres Crystals. Southern Seis finished off the year in July, running second in the $145,000 Heartland Futurity in Indiana by three-quarters of a length before taking a vacation until Saturday night.
Southern Seis came off the layoff for trainer Lucio Espiritu and leading jockey Roman Cruz like a horse with her heart on fire for victory. Southern Seis stopped the timer for 400 yards in :20.027 over a fast track, moving into first place by three-hundredths of a second. It was her third win in four times in trial races. Her record now is seven starts, three victories and one second for a bankroll of $83,254. A total of $36,514 of that has been pocketed in Oklahoma City. Southern Seis is owned by Zareth Juarez of Litchfield, Ill. The swift filly was a $30,000 purchase in 2021’s Heritage Place Yearling Sale.
Southern Seis was sent off at 7-2 odds and won her trial by three-quarters of a length over Double Didget, the 6-5 post-time favorite. Five horses qualified from this heat for the final 10.
The fastest 10 times in the Oaks trials will face off in the finals of the $159,095 Remington Park Oaks on Saturday, April 22, at 400 yards.
The following were the 10 fastest qualifiers with times from Saturday, speed index, trial number (race number), jockey and trainer:

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??
