KISS ME INA FLASH TOPS FIRST NIGHT OF QUALIFYING FOR OKLAHOMA FUTURITY AT REMINGTON PARK

Dunn Ranch purchased Kiss Me Ina Flash for $140,000 at the 2025 Heritage Place September Yearling Sale in Oklahoma City. After the performance Kiss Me Ina Flash put forth Friday night at Remington Park, that purchase is starting to look like the bargain of the year.

The 2-year-old Oklahoma-bred filly Quarter Horse challenged some of the lightning in the skies around Oklahoma on Friday night with her own lightning quick feet. She was easily the fastest qualifier on night one of the Oklahoma Futurity trials. The daughter of Kiss My Hocks, out of the First Moonflash mare Flashing My PJs, stopped the timer for 300 yards in a time of :15.472, earning a 90 speed index over the fast track. The next fastest time of the night from nine trials was :15.698, (82). The run by Kiss Me Ina Flash was as visually impressive as any horse that has stepped foot on the Remington Park track this meet.,

There are two nights of Oklahoma Futurity trials to qualify 10 finalists for the race. The Grade 2, $435,395 Oklahoma Futurity final is scheduled to be run at Remington Park on Saturday, March 21. It will be the 85th running of the oldest futurity in American Quarter Horse racing. The five fastest in the trials on Saturday night will join five from tonight in the finals.

Kiss Me Ina Flash is regally bred to be something special. Her sire (dad), Kiss My Hocks, was a two-time American Quarter Horse Association Racing Champion and his progeny earnings are more than $17 million on the racetrack. In his racing career, Kiss My Hocks won 9-of-12 starts for $1,199,385 in earnings. If that weren’t enough, Kiss Me Ina Flash’s dam (mother), Flashing My PJs can flash a few racing stats of her own. She only raced four times, but she won a Heritage Place Futurity trial and an All American Futurity trial as a 2-year-old and ran seventh in the Grade 1, $3 Million All American Futurity final. She banked $135,130. Flashing My PJs was sired by First Moonflash.

Kiss Me Ina Flash looks to carry on the family talent if she can repeat Friday night’s effort. Under jockey Juan Pulido, she drew off to win by 3-1/4 lengths as the 4-5 favorite. She is trained by Jed Vane for owner Dunn Ranch of Wynnewood, Okla. Kiss Me Ina Flash was bred by Flashing My PJs Partnership.

Other than Kiss Me Ina Flash, the fastest qualifier, here are the rest of the five from Friday (with jockey, trainer, trial number (race number), times and speed index were:

Kiss Me Ina Flash, Juan Pulido, Jed Vane, trial five (race six), :15.472, 90
One Fancy Cowboy, Bryan Candanosa, Jose U. Lopez, trial seven (race eight), :15.698, 82

Whiskey Doc, Cody Smith, Stacey Capps, trial eight (race nine), :15.728, 81
