CLAREMORE, OK—SEPTEMBER 11, 2020—Eleven 3-year-olds, headed by Tom and Kathleen McNally’s Jess My Hocks, are entered in Sunday’s 400-yard Adequan Will Rogers Derby Challenge trials at Will Rogers Downs.
A homebred son of Kiss My Hocks trained by Michelle Hurdle, Jess My Hocks has earned $53,909 from five outs in Oklahoma this season, and the sorrel gelding was a finalist in the April 18, 400-yard Remington Park Derby (RG2), and the May 30, $232,000 Heritage Place Derby (G2). Jess My Hocks drew post 3 and will be ridden by Mario Delgado in the second of two trials.
