Doocy heads to Remington

The jockey colony at Prairie Meadows took a hit his week when Tim Doocy, Perry Compton, and Belen Quinonez packed their tack and headed to Remington Park. Doocy, the leading rider coming into Friday's card with 11 wins, told the racing office that he intends to be back to ride selected stakes as well as Iowa Classic Night on Aug. 25.

* Sharkey's Review, the second leading Iowa-bred earner of all time, died recently of complications from Potomac fever. A 9-year-old mare, Sharkey's Review was named Iowa's horse of the year in 2003. She had two foals, a yearling by Indian Charlie and a weanling by Royal Academy. Sharkeys Review, who was elected to Prairie Meadows Hall of Fame in 2005, won 15 of 36 races while accumulating earnings of $685,425.
