TRAINER FERNANDO MANRIQUEZ RECORDS FOUR TRAINING RACE WINNERS AT REMINGTON PARK, INCLUDING FASTEST OF DAY, SHEZA FEARLESS EAGLE
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – March 20, 2024 – Trainer Fernando Manriquez dominated the day Wednesday as his horses won four of the nine training races at Remington Park, including the fastest one of the day by the filly Sheza Fearless Eagle.
This 2-year-old daughter of One Fabulous Eagle, out of the Tres Seis mare Ima Fearless Fire covered the 250 yards in :13.365 for an 89 speed-index with virtually no wind and a 74-degree temperature. The racing surface was fast.
Manriquez also won with the fifth-, eighth- and ninth-fastest training race winners of the day.
Jockey Daniel Torres rode Sheza Fearless Eagle to victory to easily win the fastest race, but there were signs that she might be a runner right off the bat. This filly worked out at 250 yards on Feb. 22 at Remington Park and got the bullet (fastest workout of the day) in :13.25 seconds from the gate. She had the best workout of 142 horses that went 250 yards that morning. It also was one of the fastest workouts of the meet at that distance.
“She can run,” said Manriquez. “She’s paid up into the Heritage Place Futurity (on June 1, the $1 million top race of the meet for 2-year-old American Quarter Horses this season), but we will probably run her in a maiden race before then.”
Sheza Fearless Eagle won the seventh race of the day. She is owned by Jill Cook, who used to own Royal Vista Ranches of Wayne, Okla., with her late husband. Cook bred this filly in Colorado.
As far as her pedigree goes, her sire (dad), One Fabulous Eagle ran in some of the biggest trials going, winning in the All American Futurity and Ruidoso Futurity trials in New Mexico at 2 years old, and then winning in the All American Derby and Rainbow Derby trials as a 3-year-old. In his career, One Fabulous Eagle won 5-of-11 starts for $644,547 earned. On the bottom side of her bloodlines, her dam (mom) Ima Fearless Fire was unraced, but that filly’s sire, Tres Seis, has produced the second highest earner ever in American Quarter Horse Association history, Ochoa, with $2.7 million, a mark that is only behind $3-million earner KJ Desperado.
Another big runner for Tres Seis was Tres Crystals who won the Oklahoma and Heritage Place Futurities at Remington Park in 2022.
The other training race winners on Wednesday with their times (in order from fastest to slowest winners), speed index, trainers and race number were:
Apolitical Time, :13.493, 84, Raul Ramirez, Sr., race six
La Cuarenta Y Ocho, :13.534, 82, James “J.J.” Gonzalez III, race two
Marvelous M Marvin, :13.619, 79, Heath Taylor, race four
KVN Good One, :13.626, 78, Fernando Manriquez, race nine
Big Country 2, :13.658, 77, Michelle Hurdle, race five
Apocalyptical Moon, :13.666, 77, James “J.J.” Gonzalez III, race one
Venetian Cowgirl, :13.729, 74, Fernando Manriquez, race three
Salsa Corona, :13.868, 69, Fernando Manriquez, race eight
Training races are prep schooling events traditionally for 2-year-olds, getting ready for their first official pari-mutuel race. All horses on Wednesday were Quarter Horses.
Remington Park racing resumes Thursday thru Sunday, March 21-24, with the first race nightly at 6pm, except for Sunday when racing begins at 4pm.

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??
