Admiral Sting became the first multiple stakes winner at Remington Park during this meet, winning the Restricted Grade 2, $68,000 Mr Jet Moore Stakes on Thursday night.
It was the second time this meet that jockey Jimmy Brooks and trainer Eddie Willis were interviewed after such a victory with Admiral Sting taking his picture in the winner’s circle. The 4-year-old horse by Apollitical Jess, out of the Strawfly Special mare Sting Scorpion Sting, won the $68,000 Mighty Deck Three Stakes on opening night at 250 yards and matched that victory in tonight’s Mr Jet Moore at 350 yards. He also ran fifth in the $50,000 Eastex Stakes last time out on March 28.
“He didn’t get away from the gate in the Eastex,” said Brooks. “Today he left there good. And he got to the other end. Ran his race.”
Admiral Sting went off at 3-1 odds on Thursday and paid $8.60to win, $5.60 to place and $2.80 to show. He covered the 350 yards in 17.532 seconds over a fast track for a speed index of 89.
“He’s getting really good, and he’s sound,” said Willis. “We’ll just wait now for the next one. I think he’ll get little better the rest of the year.”
Admiral Sting improved his record to six wins from 16 starts and padded his lifetime bankroll to $158,381 after pocketing $40,800 of the purse for first. He was bred in Oklahoma by owner Jahree Standridge from Coalgate, Okla. Admiral Sting also has run second twice and third three times.
The favorite in the race, AJs High, at 2-1 odds, was restless in the gate and then broke slowly to finish well back in last place.
Admiral Sting won by three-quarters of a length over runner-up Bye Byefreighttrain (5-2) and was another three-quarters of a length ahead of third-place finisher Home Boy James (9-1).

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
1ST RACE – (4) THE SPINSTER N returns here as bottom-feeder second off barn change. Offered out-of-town speed and expect forwardly-placed in short field.
5TH RACE – (3) SHESAIDHESAIDISAID has been bridesmaid half of eight seasonal starts. Resume at bottom claimer functional as any of these, thus we gaze.
6TH RACE – (5) SOHO JACKMAN A did not get involved from outer draw in overflow field. Making just third ’19 try, edge as one of a few class dippers here.
7TH RACE – (5) BROADWAY SISSY outraced her odds last couple of tries, probably lessening her value. Few inside leavers, so lass may have to wait and see.
8TH RACE – (5) AMERICAN VENTURE is one we’ve given a four-eyeball last few, despite rotten getaways. Draws somewhat better third off claim, we stay.
11TH RACE – (1) TELL ME A JOKE is another who has found our attention of late. Third consecutive pole—second this level—slipped out late in latest, again.
$2 +/- (thru Mon., Apr. 1) – 58 wins ($369.50)
from 346 ($692) selex (-$322.50, …and yet we keep showing up)
highest-priced winner – MALNIFICENT ($24)
lowest-priced winner – SEASWIFT JOY N ($2.50)
