OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—MARCH 27, 2015—Lotta Jess didn't make his first career start until late in his 2-year-old season but he made them count, scoring twice at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla. Friday night at Remington Park, Lotta Jess made his 3-year-old debut triumphant, staying undefeated through three career attempts.

Owned by Juanita Jaquez of Oklahoma City and trained by Jose Gamez, Lotta Jess was ridden by Omar Reyes who has been the pilot for all three of the gelding’s wins. Positioned outside in post number 10 for the $24,500 allowance feature at 350 yards, Lotta Jess methodically gained and gathered in the early leaders to win by a neck in :17.596 seconds over a fast track. Eye Aint No Girl battled for second while Jess Botticelli was third.

Lotta Jess was 3-1 in the wagering, paying $8.80 to win, $4.60 to place and $4.20 to show. Eye Aint No Girl returned $15.20 to place and $7.60 to show. Jess Botticelli paid $5.60 to show. Dash Through Fire was the beaten wagering favorite at 8-5 odds, finishing sixth.

The third win from as many attempts was worth $12,990 for Lotta Jess, a Colorado-bred by First Down Mr Jess from the Bono Jazz mare Serabono. His overall earnings now stand at $23,550.
