Another filly got the second fastest clocking when the Sam Howard trainee, Big Brown Betty clocked a :17.74 in Race 3.

The 2015 Remington Park Quarter Horse & Mixed Breed season opened March 6 and runs through Saturday, May 30.

Editor's note: Hand Of Doom was originally reported as clocking the fastest two-year-old race on Wednesday's card. However, Race 9 was carded for 3-year-olds. The Michael Taylor 3-year-old gelding by To Be A Corona clocked :13.66 seconds for 250 yards.

Most of Wednesday's races were ran into a 9 to 15 mph headwind. When Race 9 went the wind had laid and the track reported no head wind for that race. We apologize for any inconvenence.
