by Michael Cusortelli
Madewell broke sharply and on the lead from his rail post to earn his first stakes vic- tory in the $55,920 Remington Park Distance
Championship-G2 on June 1.
Racing for Ray L. Madewell and Davy Madewell
of Ringling, Oklahoma, Madewell covered 870 yards in :44.984, and his winning margin was 1/2-length over Rock A Billy. James Flores, the lead- ing jockey during the 51-date Remington Park meet, rode the sorrel gelding for trainer Tammy Johnson.
“He broke awesome and was in front for most of the race,” said Flores. “When we got to the 660 pole, we were still in front, and at the quarter pole the oth- ers started coming to him, but he finished strong.”
Madewell was coming off of a second-place finish, a neck behind winner Ms Esther, in the $40,299 AQHA Remington Distance Challenge on May 12. A $20,000 claimer during the 2018 Remington Park meet, the gelding has won four of 19 races - including four of 18 at the 870 distance. The $34,638 winner’s share of the Remington Park Distance Championship-G2 bumped his bankroll to $103,749.
Stakes winner Rock A Billy (Rock Solid Jess- Imaginiff) finished second for owner Rockin J Running Horses. Randy Wilson rode the homebred 6-year-old gelding for trainer Tammy Johnson.
A two-time 870 stakes winner during the 2019 Remington meet, Ms Esther (Afrashad-Tres Down The Cash) was third under Andrew Samaniego
for owner Jordan Baumann, who also trained the 5-year-old mare.
Jess A Hilbily Bone (Rock Solid Jess-Imaginiff), Bout Tree Fiddy (Ivory James-Hollie Jollie), Blazen Panther (Panther Mountain-Blazen Madie), Flight Force (One Famous Eagle-Modice) and Rare Ed (Dean Miracle-Ms Corona Jet) completed the order of finish.
