Reed And Flores Team For Three Wins Friday at Remington Park

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—APRIL 19, 2019—The trainer/jockey combination of Gerald Reed and James Flores proved a winning formula three times on Friday night at Remington Park.

The pair visited the winner’s circle in the only three starts for Reed horses, in race three, race seven and race nine.

The winning triple started with Effortless Dynasty ($9 to win) in the third race and continued in race seven with Louisiana Perry ($10.80). The hat trick was complete when Llano Senator ($7.20) came home first in the ninth.

Reed has now saddled 11 winners on the season from 25 starts. Flores extends his lead in the jockey standings to 17 wins over second-place rider Jimmy Brooks. Flores has now won 36 races as he attempts to score his second consecutive Remington Park riding title.
