Utah Quarter Racing Association Announces Positive Tests

SOUTH JORDAN, UT—JUNE 16, 2018—The Utah Quarter Horse Racing Association instituted hair-testing for the recent trails held at Laure Brown Racetrack.

Trials were conducted for the $15,070 South Valley Futurity on June 1 and the $92,233 Beehive Futurity on June 2.

"We received Positive hair tests for Jess A Success who was second fastest qualifier in the South Valley Futurity and Heza Winners King who was going to run in the Beehive Consolation Futurity Finals," a spokesman for the association said.

Both horses have been disqualified and have been given a no time.

Due to the disqualification in the South Valley, the 11th qualifier, Flare Up Baby, has been moved up to 10th and made eligible to enter today's (June 16) final.

Flare Up Bay is a daughter of Quick To Flare Up from the Strike The Cash mare Strikeabye Baby owned by Rodney Long and conditioned by Tisa Helmick. Belinda Disotell bred the gray filly in Louisiana. Jesus Valenzuela was the jockey.
