OKLAHOMA CITY – Good Captain Pepper affirmed his class in the 2016 Remington Park 2-year-old quarter horse division by winning the $100,000 Heritage Place Juvenile in a time of :17.436 seconds for 350 yards.

Earlier in March, Good Captain Pepper finished third in the Grade 3, $440,000 Oklahoma Futurity. The gelded son of Captain Courage out of the Truly First Class mare, Poise N Pepper made the lead soon after the start and prevailed to win by a neck after a long drive.

Trained by Eddie Willis and ridden by Jimmy Brooks, Good Captain Pepper earned $29,070 for his owner Carlos Lozano of San Antonio. He pushed his lifetime earnings to an even $90,000 with a record of three wins and one third-place finish in four starts.  Sent off at 5-1, Good Captain Pepper paid $13.00 to win, $3.20 to place and $2.80 to show. PV Eye Desire Candy finished second as the 2-1 second-choice and paid $3.60 to place and $2.60 to show. El Carretonero G 3 was the 3-5 betting favorite but stumbled at the start and recovered only to finish third, paying $2.40 to show.

Good Captain Pepper was bred in Texas by Bullard Farms.
