Remington Park to honor trainer Brooks with statue

Remington Park is honoring retired quarter horse trainer Jack Brooks during an awards banquet before the start of the track's annual meet.

Track officials will unveil a life-size bronze statue of the 73-year-old trainer from Edmond on Thursday during the event entitled ``A Night of Legends.'' Brooks is an eight-time winner of the All American Futurity, the most prestigious event in quarter horse racing.

Brooks began training horses in 1959 at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico and has enjoyed considerable success at other tracks, including Remington Park, where he won three trainers' titles.

The track's quarter horse meet starts Friday.
