Four Derby winners from other states converge at Remington Park Sept. 26 for the $400,000 Oklahoma Derby (G3). The 1 1/8-mile Oklahoma Derby, which drew a field of eight, headlines a stakes-laden program that also includes the $200,000 Remington Park Oaks (G3) for 3-year-old fillies.
Twin Creeks Racing Stables' Warrant , from the barn of Eclipse-winning trainer Brad Cox, took the $300,000 Texas Derby in May at Lone Star Park and has been made the morning-line favorite at 5-2 odds. Joel Rosario flies in to ride the son of Constitution , who he also piloted to victory in a sloppy Texas Derby in the slop May 31.
JIL Stable's Mr. Wireless, a two-time Derby winner, starts for trainer Bret Calhoun. Triumphant in the $500,000 West Virginia Derby (G3) at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort Aug. 7 and before that, the $300,000 Indiana Derby (G3) at Indiana Grand July 7, Mr. Wireless will be ridden by Ramon Vazquez. Remington Park oddsmaker Jerry Shottenkirk has set Mr. Wireless at 3-1 odds.
Mr. Wireless (Dialed In ) defeated Warrant in the West Virginia Derby after Warrant edged him in the Texas Derby.
Erv Woolsey and Keith Asmussen's Super Stock, winner of the $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1) in April at Oaklawn Park has been tabbed at 7-2 odds. Recently victorious in the $200,000 Runhappy Ellis Park Derby in Kentucky on Aug. 15, Super Stock is trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, racing's all-time winningest trainer, and will be ridden by Ricardo Santana Jr., the hottest jockey on Remington Park's biggest day since the mid-2010s.
Super Stock's Arkansas Derby propelled him into the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) in May, where the Dialed In colt finished 16th in a field of 19.
The fourth Derby winner is the Karl Broberg-trained Flash of Mischief, who is fresh off his score in the $250,000 St. Louis Derby Sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook at Fanduel Fairmount Park for owner Jerry Namy. Joe Talamo handled the Into Mischief colt that day and will be in for the mount again in the Oklahoma Derby. Flash of Mischief is at 8-1 on the morning line.
The Oklahoma Derby will go as the 11th race of 12 at 8:11 p.m. CT.
An hour and a half earlier, Super Stock's stablemate, Stonestreet Stables' Pauline's Pearl and six other 3-year-old fillies race 1 1/16 miles in the Remington Park Oaks. The Tapit filly captured the Fantasy Stakes (G3) at Oaklawn Park in April, though she has since lost three straight. She is the 5-2 morning-line favorite after a runner-up finish in the Charles Town Oaks (G3) in her most recent outing.
This spring she also ran eighth in the Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1) at Churchill Downs.
Lovely Ride, Amendment Nineteen, and Lady Mystify are other favorites in the Remington Park Oaks.
The Oaks is the eighth race at 6:33 p.m. There is a special first post of 3:04 p.m. on Sunday.
