PHOENIX, Ariz. (February 11, 2026) — Turf Paradise is continuing to show appreciation to its fans all February long with daily admission pot drawings and a special Valentine’s Day celebration designed to keep the love going trackside.

From now through the end of February, Turf Paradise will host daily drawings Monday through Thursday for the admission pot. Fans who purchase an admission ticket prior to the fifth race will be entered into that day’s drawing. To win, fans must be present when the winning ticket is drawn before the final race of the day. One lucky fan will take home the entire admission handle from that day.

“Our new management team has truly felt the love from our fans,” General Manager Tom Ludt, said. “The support has been incredible, and this is our way of giving that love right back. We’re grateful for our fans and excited to continue creating fun experiences for them at the track.”

In addition to the weekly giveaways, Turf Paradise is adding a special touch for Valentine’s Day on Saturday, featuring a festive card and an inviting race day atmosphere perfect for couples and groups alike. Fans can enjoy exciting live racing along with Bottomless Bubbles in the Clubhouse — the perfect excuse to sip, snack, and cheer with your favorite person (or favorite people). Plus, the first 400 children through the gates will receive a special treat.

Endless mimosas or champagne will be available in the Clubhouse only from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the purchase of any entrée, making Valentine’s Day at Turf Paradise an ideal blend of great racing, great food, and great company.

For more information on February promotions, fans are encouraged to visit turfparadise.com or follow along on social media.

Live racing continues through May 2, 2026.

OKLAHOMA CITY – With fractiousness surrounding him in the gate, Scott Road didn’t let it bother him as he cruised to the fastest win of the day in nine training races Thursday at Remington Park. The 2-year-old colt closed ground for the 250-yard victory.

The 2-year-old California-bred colt by Seperate Interest, out of theCorona Cartel mare Remember The Cartel, was in post-position three awaiting the break from the starting gate when the 2-horse, Volcoms Marine YG, reared up, putting his legs over the gate, encroaching on the 1-horse, Big Hero Monday’s territory. The Volcoms Marine YG wasn’t happy with jumping into the next starting gate, so he started kicking as well. The 4-horse, Leaf On the Wind, ran loose in the paddock and carried on pre-race as well. 

Somehow, with bad actors all around him, Scott Road still broke straight as an arrow and chased down the No. 5 horse, Valiant Hocks, for the victory in a time of :13.903 for a speed index of 64 into a headwind of about 15 mph. Big Hero Monday also deserved some kudos for running third despite sharing his stall with the Volcoms Marine YG prior to the start. Jockey Edwin Escobedo guided Scott Road to the training race win.

Scott Road was a $25,000 purchase by owner FG Ranch of Dover, Fla., in the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale of 2025. He ran to his breeding to win his race. His sire, Seperate Interest, was a graded stakes winner, taking the Grade 3 Kaweah Bar Handicap at Los Alamitos in California. He won 7-of-29 races lifetime for earnings of $486,761. Scott Road’s mother was unraced, but her sire, Corona Cartel, was a multiple graded stakes winner, making six trips to the winner’s circle in 14 starts for $557,142 earned. He won the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Million Futurity and the Grade 2 Kindergarten Futurity at Los Alamitos in California.

Scott Road was bred by Steve Burns, DVM.

The second-fastest time of the day came from Ruse Man Crystal in the eighth race (:13.934), a Leo Alcala trainee who has some interesting breeding. The 2-year-old Louisiana-bred filly is by KJ Mucho Man, out of the Walk Thru Fire mare Crystal Sola. That makes her a half-sister to $1 million Heritage Place Futurity winner Tres Crystals. Ruse Man Crystal has the same mother as that 2022 Heritage Place Futurity winner, but different sires.

The fastest Paint of the day, DW Showin Off, held onto the fastest time of the day (:13.956) until Scott Road took over. DW Showin Off also ran his race under one of the strongest headwinds of the day at 16 mph. That Paint ran in the opening race of the day for trainer Dee Keener and did everything on his own with no rider encouragement. He is a 2-year-old colt sired by Champion Quarter Horse Uncle D, from the SF Royal Quick Flash mare Shez Showin Off. He is owned and bred by Danny Watkins of Wagoner, Okla. 

The other training race winners (Quarter Horses unless otherwise noted), their times (in order from fastest to slowest winners), speed index, trainers and race number were:

• Ruse Man Crystal, :13.934, 63, Leo Alcala, race eight
• Iam George III (dual registered Paint-Quarter Horse), :14.123, 55, Dee Keener, race three
