Q-RACING JOURNAL—APRIL 25, 2016—It was a great weekend of racing for Quarter Horse fans, with an all-you-can-eat buffet of top racing.

Talented youngsters were out in force: Juan Medina’s homebred Teller Baja (Teller Cartel-Baja Jazz by Tres Seis) took the $958,000 Remington Park Futurity (RG2); Joel Tipton’s Just Call Me Carter (Carters Cartel-Justiflied by Strawfly Special) won the $540,000 Sam Houston Futurity (G2); Running Dragon (Zulu Dragon-Banking Lane by Devon Lane (TB)) took the $297,925 New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG2).

Champion Jess Good Candy made his sophomore return in style, chugging home in the Mr Master Bug Stakes (R) at Remington for his fifth consecutive lifetime win. Two days earlier, champion Open Me A Corona returned to the winner’s circle in the John Alleman Memorial Stakes (RG3).

A top freshman last year, A Tres Of Paint took the $277,000 Remington Park Derby (RG3), and Restricted Grade 1 winner Once Over won the West Texas Maturity (G2) for new owner Jaime Bujanda, defeating past All American Futurity (G1) winner JM Miracle.

And on Saturday, Terry McLean’s Dicecapades took the $70,000 Laico Bird Stakes (R) at Remington. It is the filly’s second win from as many starts, and boosts her career earnings to $52,618.

McLean purchased her for $6,000 at last year’s Heritage Place Yearling Sale. She was bred by J. Garvan Kelly and Nancy Yearsley, and is by Prospect To The Top and out of the Tres Seis mare Dicey Riley.
