Remington Park Race 11 • Oklahoma Derby (Grade 3) • 3YO • 9:14 EST Have to admit, I’m a sucker for a Ken McPeek entry in a spot like this. I’ll admit 5 Rattle N Roll is definitely in my thoughts, but upon further review, I’m going with a price horse here that absolutely is bred for the surface and distance and sees the return of his winning rider from three back. I’m talking, of course, of trainer Steve Asmussen’s entry 7 King Ottoman and jockey Stewart Elliott. There should be enough speed for him to run into, making his closing bid down the stretch tonight. Biggest threat is 4 Best Actor, Brad Cox/Florent Geroux, 3-for-4 lifetime, but he’ll be up against it a bit trying to vie for the early lead. Another underneath horse at a price I’m going to include is 2 Red Knobs from trainer Robertino Diodoro’s stable. This horse has finished in the money his last five out.
Picks: 7-4-2-5
Best of luck!
