JESS CANDY POLITICS IMPRESSES IN WEDNESDAY TRAINING RACES AT REMINGTON PARK

OKLAHOMA CITY - March 8, 2017 – Facing the strongest head-wind of any pre-season training race day at Remington Park, Jess Candy Politics put up the top 250-yard time of the session.

The sunny day brought temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s, included southerly winds reaching up to 25mph. Jess Candy Politics did not seem to mind the headwind, cutting through to finish in :13.714 seconds over a fast track.

Owned by PV Quarter Horse Farms of Ratliff City, Okla. and trained by Clint Crawford, Jess Candy Politics is an Oklahoma-bred 2-year-old colt by Apollitical Jess from the Corona Cartel mare Candy Cartel. Jockey G.R. Carter was up for the impressive two-length victory as Jess Candy Politics appeared to have plenty of ability remaining while finishing in hand.
