OKLAHOMA CITY – June 5, 2016, It’s been over a year since Zoomin Effortlessly last failed to visit a winner’s circle in his tour de force. Saturday night at Remington Park, he ran his winning streak to eight and put an exclamation point on the performance in setting a new 440-yard track record in the Grade 1, $250,605 Remington Park Championship.

Owned by Telesforo Perrett of Houston and trained by Rick Robinson, Zoomin Effortlessly was ridden by Santos Carrizales who could not have been happier with the 5-year-old gelding’s performance.

The last time (Leo Stakes in April), he didn’t break but today he did. He’s funny but when he leaves, it’s hard to catch him. I had (Moonin The Eagle) on the inside and he came really strong at me but that’s what I like about Zoomin, he feels the pressure and he kicks into another gear. I don’t know where he gets that strength, he’s a little bitty, thin horse, but he has a big heart.

Covering the distance in :20.758 seconds over a fast track, Zoomin Effortlessly broke the track record of :20.981 held by Priceless Feature who set the old mark when he won the 2013 Remington Park Championship.

Zoomin Effortlessly was never able to get clear of his rivals but fought all the way to earn the victory by a neck over Moonin The Eagle. Houdini, an earner of more than $1.1 Million in his career, finished 1-3/4 lengths behind the winner for third.

The people’s choice at 4-5 odds in the betting, Zoomin Effortlessly paid $3.80 to win, $3 to place and $2.60 to show. Moonin The Eagle returned $5.20 to place and $4.20 to show. Houdini paid $4.20 to show.

The streak for Zoomin Effortlessly started in May 2015 at Sam Houston Race Park. He wraps his Remington Park season a perfect two-for-two after wins in the Grade 1 Leo and the Remington Park Championship. A winner of 14 career races from 21 attempts, Zoomin Effortlessly made $150,000 on Saturday night to run his lifetime bankroll to $490,131.

Bred in Texas by Tommy Charbula, Zoomin Effortlessly is by Zoomin For Bux from the Royal Quick Dash mare Royal Quick Affair.
