OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—APRIL 15, 2021—Candy Blood, a gelded son of Apollitical Blood and the fastest qualifier, heads a field of 10 Oklahoma-bred sophomores entered back in Saturday’s 400-yard, $355,800 Remington Park Derby (RG2).
Trained by Monty Arrossa for owners Rick Sumner and Dunn Ranch, Candy Blood has won three of four races at Remington Park, including the last of eight Remington Park Derby trials on April 1.
