Timeform's US Racing expert Jake Price is back with his tip for tonight's action Stateside.
Remington Park hosts the biggest raceday of its season with eight stakes on the card, culminating in the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby over one and one-eighth of a mile.
With a purse of $400,000 on offer the race has drawn together eight interesting 3-year-olds and at the prices the one I like is Doug O’Neill’s EJ WON THE CUP.
The son of Omaha Beach is a battle-hardened performer and has shipped around the country for each of his four wins. He’s really come to hand this season, winning four of his seven starts. Three of those came in stakes, including three ‘Derbies’, and he has plenty of experience going two turns.
He exits his last race with the highest speedfigure of this field thanks to a 9¼ lengths success in the St. Louis Derby. He was on the pace that day and I can see him thereabouts again from gate two, though he has won from mid-pack before, so versatility is seemingly no issue.
