Dan and Kaye Jones of Kemp, Texas, are staking a claim to the $22,000 Paul Harber Paint & Appaloosa Memorial Stakes at Remington Park after
winning the black-type race for Paints and Appaloosas for three consecutive years. Their homebred Live Moonshine captured this year’s event, winning the 350- yard fixture for the second time.

As Js Runnin Wire began retreating in the lane, Live Moonshine found himself in a battle with WI Hector Lives.
