JUNOS LAW THE FIRST TO WORKOUT

OKLAHOMA CITY – Remington Park’s 2009 American Quarter Horse and Mixed Breed Season begins in just over a month on March 6. This morning, the racetrack opened for the first official training of they year with trainer Ray Enlow taking full advantage of the opportunity under sunny skies.

The Sapulpa, Okla. based conditioner sent Junos Law out at 8:20 a.m. The 2-year-old Texas-bred filly by Outlaws and Inlaws from the Junoimgood mare Junos Valentine covered 220 yards in 12.66 seconds handily over a fast track with Mario Chavez aboard.

"We’re getting her ready for the Oklahoma Futurity trials on March 7," Enlow noted. "Mario sat on her and breezed her on through the stretch. We wanted to stretch her out and we got it accomplished. Mario’s been working with me for about 18 years and is a great asset to our operation."

Only six horses were sent to the track for the first morning of training, all from the Enlow barn. In all, he has 32 horses he’s preparing for competition during the season which runs from March 6 thru May 31.
