OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—APRIL 25, 2024– If you've eaten in the Remington Park track kitchen this race meet, chances are you've enjoyed the cooking of Leo Alcala.

Major Upset By Rompe Corazonez in the $56,075 AQRA Turf Paradise Presidents Open Futurity

PHOENIX, AZ–APRIL 25, 2024–Rompe Corazonez, who qualified with the third fastest time in the trials, isn't breaking hearts today. The two-year-old bay filly pulled off her victory with an upset in the finals of the $56,075 AQRA Turf Paradise Presidents Open Futurity on Thursday afternoon.

Jockey Joseph Belloc Jr piloted Rompe Corazonez to her first place finish in :15.843 seconds clocking a 89 speed index against an 8 mph headwind. After a bumped start, she held well leading the field from wire-to-wire and crossed the finish line 3/4-lengths ahead of Bartlett. The longshot's 300-yard victory paid $42.80 to win on a $2.00 wager with 19/1 odds.

Conditioned by Rigoberto Guillen, Rompe Corazonez placed third in her trial heat to the Futurity and today's victory is her first career win from two starts. The $28,938 winner's share of the purse increased he .. Read More
