Ms Flashy Dancer Continues Streak, Sets New Track Record

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—APRIL 24, 2014—Talent and some extra tailwind provided Ms Flashy Dancer with her fourth consecutive victory and a new Remington Park track record for Paint and Appaloosa racing at 330 yards.

A $14,900 Starter Allowance event gave Ms Flashy Dancer the stage for her fourth straight score dating back to September 2013. The 3-year-old filly also hit the finish in :16.602 seconds over a fast track, aided in part by a tailwind of 19mph. The new mark knocks out one set on March 16 when Call Him Awesome (Paint) posted a time of :16.661.

Ms Flashy Dancer won a nose-bob photo over 10-year-old veteran Texas Royal Snow. TH San Man was moved up to third after Junglebell was disqualified from the position and placed sixth for causing interference to BV Judys Teller midway through the race.

Owned by the McAlester, Okla. partnership of Shawn Smoot and Larry Burnett, Ms Flashy Dancer is trained by Rodney Reed and was ridden by Berkley Packer. The 6-5 wagering favorite, Ms Flashy Dancer paid $4.40 to win, $6.80 to place and $2.10 to show. Texas Royal Snow returned $3.40 to place and $2.20 to show. TH San Man paid $2.80 to show.

Bred in Oklahoma by Smoot, Ms Flashy Dancer is a 3-year-old Paint filly by Dance Master (TB) from the SF Royal Quick Flash mare Birdys Quick Flash. She won her fourth career race, all part of her streak, and her second at Remington Park. The winner’s check of $8,528 gives Ms Flashy Dancer lifetime earnings of $29,044.

Jockey G.R. Carter won three races Thursday, to take over the lead in the standings. Carter won aboard Sweet Brown Stone ($5.20 to win) in race four, Hayjay ($16.20) in race 10 and This Eagles Gone ($3.40) in race 12. Carter’s triple gives him 33 wins for the season, two ahead of Packer (31).
