UNCLE REDHEADS WINS HEAD BOB OVER FAMOUS N RELENTLESS TO SCORE MR MASTER BUG STAKES AT REMINGTON PARK
by Richard Linihan
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – April 20, 2026 – One horse was flying on the outside from post-position 10 and another was cruising on the rail from the post-position one. When the photo finish came down, it was Uncle Redheads on the far outside who was the winner in the $75,000 Mr Master Bug Stakes on Saturday night at Remington Park.
The Mr Master Bug Stakes is for Oklahoma-bred 3-year-olds at 350 yards.
Uncle Redheads had won the heated battle over the inside horse, Famous N Relentless, by a head. Jockey Armando Alvidrez had just enough drive left in Uncle Redheads to get home first as the 2-1 toteboard favorite. Famous N Relentless (6-1) recorded the same 91 speed index as the winner, but couldn’t quite match that final stride. The runner-up finished three-quarters of a length in front of third-place finisher Apolitical Valor (8-1).
Uncle Redheads, a 3-year-old Oklahoma-bred gelding by Uncle D, out of the One Sweet Jess mare Redheads Run Hotter, paid $6 to win, $3.60 to place and $3 to show.
It was the first win in this series for Alvidrez, trainer Jason Olmstead and owner Cavenaugh Quarter Horses of Fran Cavenaugh, based in Wayne, Okla. Another Cavenaugh did win this race in 2018 when AQHA Hall of Fame jockey G.R. Carter booted home Weetonas Lafawn for Donald Cavenaugh, Fran’s husband and trainer Clint Crawford.
Uncle Redheads covered the 350 yards in :17.535 over the fast track compared to Famous N Relentless’ time of :17.546. Olmstead also trains Famous N Relentless.
The rest of the order of finish was BP Hail Mary (11-1) fourth, Margarets Cowboy (39-1) fifth, Ding Dang Dulce (26-1) sixth, T Bar Fabulous Eagle (8-1) seventh, Cowboy 1 (6-1) eighth, KVN Design (17-1) ninth and Jess a Good Angel (3-1) 10th.
Uncle Redheads earned $42,750 for Cavenaugh and improved his lifetime record to 11-6-2-1 for $234,422 in career earnings. It was the third time in four tries that he has won at this distance. He was bred by Charles and Elizabeth Horton.
The Mr Master Bug is named after the 1982 All American Futurity winner who was bred and owned by Marvin and Lela Barnes of Ada, Okla. Mr Master Bug earned American Quarter Horse Champion honors in three consecutive years from 1982-1984 and retired with more than $1.7 million in earnings.
Remington Park racing continues Sunday, April 19 with a first post time of 4pm-Central.
