by Danny Camp
It was a dark and stormy night at Remington Park for the running of the $54,730 Grade 2 Bob Moore Memorial, a 300-yard contest for older horses that
was run on April 21 over a sloppy track.

of 7 wins from 20 outs, notching his third stakes victory. His other stakes wins include the 2016 Rainbow Derby-G1 and the 2017 Mighty Deck Three Stakes.

by John Moorehouse
Racing in his 21st career out, Knockemout Capi joined the company of stakes winners when he went wire-to-wire in the $65,500 Mr Jet Moore
Stakes-RG2 at Remington Park on April 5.
There was no stopping Knockemout Capi in this
one. He broke on top from the outside post in the eight-horse field, built a 1/2-length by the first call and stayed in front the rest of the way, holding off longshot Gypsys Last Hero to win by a head.
Alfredo Gomez trains Knockemout Capi, who had Omar Reyes aboard for a 350-yard trip that took :17.582, registering an 88 speed index. The $37,500 winner’s share of the purse pushed his cumulative earnings over the $150,000 milestone to $171,372. Knockemout Capi also logged his fifth career victory.
Francisco Vega’s four-year-old colt came through for his first stakes win after several near-misses and three third-place stakes finishes, including in his most recent prior out in the Mighty Deck Three Stakes-RG3.
