OKLAHOMA CITY - March 1, 2018 – The fourth and final training race day of the week at Remington Park produced a sharp winner to look for once the 2018 American Quarter Horse Season begins. Little Kool Belle was much the best in drawing away to win by an easy 1-3/4 lengths in her event.

Owned and bred by the Edmond, Okla. partnership of Leann Burns and Stacy Hilland trained by Hill, Little Kool Belle rocketed from the starting gate under jockey Jorge Torres and easily pulled away to win, impressing while hand-ridden.
