TOP OKLAHOMA-BRED 2-YEAR-OLDS SET FOR SATURDAY’S REMINGTON PARK FUTURITY

OKLAHOMA CITY – April 17, 2020 – The restricted Grade 1, $891,900 Remington Park Futurity headlines a stellar racing program for Saturday night. The event for eligible Oklahoma-bred 2-year-olds will be contested at 330 yards and is the ninth race of 10 on the evening, which also includes seven other stakes races.

Dalts Fancy Pistol, the top qualifier from the second night of time trials on April 4 for the Remington Park Futurity, has been made the morning-line favorite at 3-1 odds. The top qualifier from the April 3 trials, Eye Work For You, is second in the morning line at 7-2 odds. Both runners are undefeated through two career attempts this season.

Owned and bred in Oklahoma by owners Larry Thompson and Don Anthony, Dalts Fancy Pistol won her career debut against maidens at Remington Park on March 8, by a half-length. The filly by Im A Fancy PYC from the Mr Eye Opener mare Dalts Pistol won her futurity trial by a widening 1-3/4 lengths under jockey Rolando Raudales who will again be up in the final. Dalts Fancy Pistol’s owner and jockey are seeking their first Remington Park Futurity win.

A gelding by Coronas Leaving You from the Mr Eye Opener mare Eye Love It, Eye Work For You was bred in Oklahoma by Jose Acosta.
