Curls Joyful Wagon Wins Decketta As Trainer Stinebaugh Horses Run 1-2-3 In Trifecta

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—MARCH 15, 2025—Everything pointed to another loss for Curls Joyful Wagon on Saturday night at Remington Park. However, her heart had a different game plan in the Grade 2, $56,160 Decketta Stakes at 350 yards.

Going into the race, Curls Joyful Wagon, had only one win in eight starts at Remington Park and had never even run third or better in three tries at 350 yards.

Still, she was sent off as the 8-5 wagering favorite in the Decketta, and jockey Ali Rivera booted her home a winner by a full length. In a matter of :17.292 seconds, she had won her first Remington Park stakes race and won for the first time at the distance.

On Saturday night, the 5-yea .. Read More
