John “Quincy” Adams, 51 of Morriston, Fla., was arrested in early June in Ocala and hit with multiple felony charges related to narcotics possession with intent to distribute. On the final day of the breeze show for the OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training, Adams was pulled over as part of a traffic stop about five miles from the sale grounds.
According to a redacted police report provided to the Paulick Report this week, Ocala Police Department officers received consent to search Adams' truck, where they found one and a half pills Adams identified as Xanax, as well as a glass pipe and small baggies of various substances.
According to the report, Adams told the officers that he sells narcotics and that he does not have a valid prescription for Xanax.
Adams was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of controlled substance in a vehicle, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of amphetamine with intent to sell, and possession of heroin with intent to sell, the latter four all being felonies. He was arraigned on the morning of July 7, according to Florida's digital database for the Marion County Circuit Court.
Adams has enjoyed success in the Thoroughbred auction market as a pinhooker, and began selling 2-year-olds under his Q Bar J Thoroughbreds banner in 2017.

Indiana Grand Racecourse will require all jockeys accepting mounts at the track to ride exclusively at that facility, effective July 10. Any jockey currently riding at Indiana Grand who enters jockey’s quarters at another racetrack will not be allowed to return to Indiana Grand without self-quarantining for 14 days. After that time period, the jockey will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 test. Jockeys who wish to move their tack to Indiana Grand must also go through the 14-day quarantine and provide a negative Covid-19 test before they will be accepted to ride at the track.

Early Thursday, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners tweeted that Speech (Mr Speaker), second to GII Toyota Blue Grass favorite Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) in the GII Santa Anita Oaks June 6, would be withdrawn from Friday’s GIII Beaumont S. in favor of Saturday’s GI Ashland S., leaving a competitive field of five 3-year-old fillies for the seven-furlong affair.
‘TDN Rising Star‘ Wicked Whisper (Liam’s Map) kicks off her sophomore campaign Friday afternoon and should vie for favoritism. Impressive in breaking her maiden by 6 1/4 lengths over future SW & GSP Highland Glory (Sky Mesa) on Saratoga debut last August, the $500,000 Keeneland September yearling defeated recent GIII Victory Ride S. heroine and fellow ‘Rising Star’ Frank’s Rockette (Into Mischief) and Slam Dunk (Into Mischief) in the Oct. 6 GI Frizette S. by 2 3/4 front-running lengths. The chestnut faces the starter for the first time since a distant fifth in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies last November.
Janis Whitham’s Four Graces (Majesticperfection), a homebred half-sister to Airdrie Stud’s McCraken (Ghostzapper), is perfect in three starts at this tricky seven-furlong distance. A first-out winner at Gulfstream Mar. 1, she stubbed her toe when fourth over that track’s one-turn mile Apr. 10, but has since added a May 16 Churchill allowance and the June 6 GIII Dogwood S. Trainer Ian Wilkes also sends out Turtle Trax (Cairo Prince).
Should the two chief protagonists happen to cancel each other out on the front end, Sconsin (Include) could prove the chief beneficiary. A maiden winner at second asking off the turf at the Fair Grounds in February, the Lloyd Madison homebred was fourth in the aforementioned May 16 allowance in Louisville won by Four Graces and most recently belied odds of 19-1 to post a five-length victory from off the pace in a 6 1/2-furlong allowance beneath the Twin Spires June 13.
