Calling Randy turns in record-setting performance at Remington

A new record was established on Tuesday for five furlongs on the turf course at Remington Park for the third time this season on Tuesday when Calling Randy sizzled the distance on the grass in :55.14.

The five-year-old dark bay or brown gelding snapped a seven-race winless stretch with the effort and trimmed nearly a half-second off the previous record of :55.62 set by Orphan Brigade on August 30.

Calling Randy broke sharply and quickly assumed command under jockey Quincy Hamilton. He drew away entering the turn and powered to a 3 1/4-length win in the claiming race for three-year-olds and older.

Frederico Villafranco conditions Calling Randy for owner Gary Owens. The Caller I. D. gelding has won nine of 38 lifetime starts and improved to three wins from seven career starts on turf with Tuesday's record-setting performance.
