OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—MAY 29, 2016—Mr James Quick broke sharply and quickly went to the front to win the $50,000 Jack Brooks Stakes Sunday at Remington Park.

The first win of the season from just two starts, Mr James Quick covered the 350 yards in :17.292 seconds over a fast track. The 3-year-old gelded son of Jesse James Jr from the Corona Cartel mare Miss Corona Quick won all three of his races at Remington Park last year but finished ninth in his 2016 debut here in April after rearing at the start. Things were different in Sunday’s Jack Brooks Stakes.

“When we loaded in the gate and they tied him into his flipping rig, he stood there and never moved and I could tell he was going to break tonight,” jockey Russel Hadley said from the winner’s circle.

Owned by the UN Stables of Red Rock, Okla., Mr James Quick is trained by Eddie Lee Willis. He finished a half-length better than Streakin PR, who raced in contention throughout, with beaten 9-5 wagering favorite Senator Tamale third.

Mr James Quick was at 9-1 odds in the betting and paid $21.60 to win, $8 to place and $4 to show. Streaking PR paid $4.60 to place and $3.80 to show. Senator Tamale paid $3.20 to show.

The win is the fourth from six career attempts for Mr James Quick who earned $29,784 for the effort to run his lifetime bankroll to $61,990.

Kasey Willis saddled stakes winner Streakin Pr for owner Thomas Scheckel. Roberto Valero rode the Corona Cartel 3-year-old out of Bonnie Streak, by Streakin La Jolla. Bred by Pine Ridge Farms, LLC, Streakin Pr earned $9,928 to bring his earnings total to $168,871.

Senator Tamale, a Louisiana Senator gelding, races for owner/breeder Ellen Kennedy Racing, LLC. Louis Villafranco saddled with Mario Delgado riding. Out of the Holland Ease mare Real Hot Tamale, Senator Tamale earned $5,461.

Completing the field were Send Me Good Candy, Regard With Respect, The Serge Protector, Aventador, Totti and A Bee C.

The Jack Brooks Stakes is named in honor of the American Quarter Horse racing legend and Hall of Famer trainer from Blanchard, Okla. He won the top race in the sport, the All American Futurity, a record eight times before retiring in 2007. Brooks, along with his wife Wynona, was on hand to present the stakes trophy to the winning connections.
