$350,000 Oklahoma Derby
Remington Park 1 1/8m
Despite the presence of graded stakes star Tiz Now Tiz Then, Yankee Gentleman’s 3-year-old colt Golden Yank was a largely unthreatened winner of Saturday’s $350,000 Oklahoma Derby. A multiple stakes winning juvenile, Golden Yank has demonstrated great versatily in his sophomore campaign as, in addition to his impressive Derby win, he was second in Churchill Downs’s top class turf feature, the GII Jefferson Cup Stakes. With earnings now approaching $600,000, Golden Yank continues Yankee Gentleman’s rock solid beginning to his stud career and is 1 of 10 First Crop stakes horses for the brilliant son of Storm Cat.
Congratulations to the Millard R. Seldin Memorial trust and trainer Gary A. Thomas!
