Thursday, March 2, 2017 - OKLAHOMA CITY – Clint Crawford, the two-time defending leading trainer at Remington Park, appears to have plenty of talent in his barn set for the 2017 season. Thursday afternoon he sent Sister Carver to a solid training race victory and the fastest time of the session.

Owned by Rodney Verret of Sunset, La. and ridden by formerly retired jockey G.R. Carter, Sister Carver roared in the ninth and final training race on Thursday. The Oklahoma-bred 2-year-old filly won under a hand-ride, covering the 250 yards in :13.457 seconds over a fast track.

Sister Carver is a daughter of world champion Wave Carver from the Jessa Leaving You mare Mr Jess Perry. She easily moved past her rival from her outside post to win by a length. Sister Carver competed into a very slight headwind of 6mph, under sunny skies with temperatures in the low 60s.

The Remington Park training races are streamed and available for review on the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association website at oqhra.online. The next set of training races is slated for Wednesday, March 8, starting at 11am.

The 2017 American Quarter Horse Season at Remington Park will begin on Friday, March 10 and continue thru Saturday, June 3.
