Boyd Morris Memorial Stakes
ROCKETAIR
by Tracy Gantz
Rocketair ran to his name in the May 24 Boyd Morris Memorial Stakes at Remington Park, rocketing from fourth to grab the victory.
The card for Oklahoma-breds had to be con-
ducted on a sloppy, sealed track, conditions that didn’t bother Rocketair. Breaking from the outside post position, he veered outward in the initial strides, giving the edge to several others. But he overcame the disadvantage, and under jockey Ivan Carnero he came on late to defeat favored Load Your Guns by a neck in :19.839 for the 400 yards.
Clinton Crawford trains the 4-year-old gelding for owners Karen & Preston Cloud. Rocketair won the 2013 Black Gold Futurity Championship-RG3, fin- ished 2nd in the 2014 Heritage Place Derby-G2 and 2015 Sunland Championship Challenge-G2, and ran 3rd in the 2014 Refrigerator Handicap-G1 and Texas Classic Derby-G1. With the Boyd Morris victory, Rocketair increased his lifetime earnings to $335,564.
Bob Moore Farms LLC bred Rocketair from winner Rivanne, a full sister to Champion Ive Been Blessed and a 1/2-sister to Champions Florentine (also a Broodmare of the Year) and Calyx. Rivanne has produced 5 winners from 13 starters, including stakes winner The Ravin Maniac. The Ravin Maniac has produced stakes-placed Jessica Ravin, the dam of Grade 3 winner Paintyourownwagon.
Load Your Guns (Corona Cartel-Dashing Little Reba) was 2nd under Cesar Gomez for JK Running Horses LLC and trainer Kenny Laymon. Earlier
this year, Load Your Guns was 2nd in the Mr. Jet Moore Handicap-RG3. Gene Cox’s multiple stakes placed homebred Novas Gold (Gold Medal Jess-Hot Nova) ran 3rd under Benito Baca for trainer Donnie Strickland. Followed by A Toss Up (Sweet First Down-Shake Cartel), Wagon Tales (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Signs Zoomer) & Walking Perry (Walk Thru Fire-Perry Story). Nash Wagon Special scratched.

This Candys Awesome handled a sloppy and sealed track with skill in her 1-length victory in the May 24 Easy Date Stakes for Oklahoma-bred distaffers at Remington Park.
Racing for the Estate of Carl C. Pevehouse, This Candys Awesome covered 350 yards in :17.361 while earning her second stakes win during the Remington meet. Ivan Carnero rode the homebred 4-year-old filly for trainer Clinton Crawford.
The Easy Date Stakes marked This Candys Awesome’s first start since March 28, when she scored a head victory as the 3-1 second choice in the 350-yard $58,000 Decketta Stakes-G3 for fillies and mares. Her three career stakes scores include a head win as the third-fastest qualifier in last year’s 400-yard $298,000 Remington Park Oklahoma Bred Derby-RG3. The filly also set a New Track Record at Remington Park in 2014, covering 330-yards in :16.344.
This Candys Awesome has now won 8 of 14 starts, and the $41,892 winner’s share of the $70,000 Easy Date Stakes purse pushed her bankroll to $306,623.
This Candys Awesome is one of five winners and the second stakes winner from seven starters out of Jess Send Candy. This Candys Awesome’s full sister Send Me This Wagon broke the 400-yard track record winning last year’s Canterbury Park Derby.
Painted Laico Bird (PYC Paint Your Wagon- Laico Bird Chic) finished second for her owners, Charles Hainline and Jimmy Jones. Jose Vega
rode the homebred 4-year-old filly for trainer Luz Chavira. Nanny McFeebe (Furyofthewind-Sexy N Saucy) ran third. A 3-year-old filly, she was ridden by Cody Wainscott for owner Mary Passmore Kirby and trainer Jackie Kirby. Followed by PYC Pick Your Pocket (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Bold Aldebaran), Corona Jasmine (Corona Cartel-Race Valentine), Redneck Sis (SC Chiseled In Stone-Dads Sassy Sissy) & Madresita (Pappasito-Mongoose Jet Eye).

Cashshae scored her first career stakes victory in the May 24, $70,000 FL Lady Bug Stakes for Oklahoma-bred 2 year olds at Remington Park.
Breaking sharply from post 3, Cashshae covered 330 yards on a sloppy and sealed track in :16.586, earning a career-best 96 speed index and defeating 3-2 favorite JS Abel Dasher by a nose. Cody Smith rode Cashshae for owner Randall R. Read of Bowie, Texas, who also bred and trains the brown filly.
