OKLAHOMA CITY, OK–MARCH 17, 2026–Saturday evening at Remington Park will bring the first major championship night of the season as the track hosts the finals from the opening weekend trial races. The Oklahoma Futurity, Oklahoma Derby, and Oklahoma Paint and Appaloosa Futurity trial heats were contested during the opening week of the season from March 5 through March 8, setting the stage for a night packed with stakes action.

The featured race of the evening is the Grade 2 $435,395 Oklahoma Futurity Final, scheduled as the tenth and final race on the program. The 300-yard event is expected to go to post at approximately 10:03 PM and will feature the ten fastest juveniles that advanced from two nights of competitive trial heats.

Kiss Me Ina Flash enters the final as the fastest qualifier following an impressive performance on the first night of trials. The filly delivered a powerful effort, winning her heat by three and one-quarter lengths while posting a 90-speed index, a performance that immediately stamped her as a leading contender for the rich final.

The Oklahoma-bred filly is sired by Kiss My Hocks and is out of Flashing My Pjs by First Moonflash. Bred by My Pjs Partnership, she was purchased for $140,000 by Dunn Ranch at the 2025 Heritage Place Yearling Sale. Trainer Jed H. Vane conditions the filly, who will break from post position four with leading jockey Juan Pulido aboard as they aim to secure one of the season’s earliest major futurity victories.

A Fortunate Cowboy enters the final as the second-fastest qualifier after delivering one of the most dominant trial performances of the weekend. The colt drew away from his rivals to win his trial by an impressive three and one-quarter lengths, stamping himself as a serious contender in the championship race.

Owned by Rolando Resendez, the colt was purchased for $35,000 at the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale in New Mexico. The Texas-bred is by Flying Cowboy 123 and out of A Fortunate Choice by A Regal Choice, bred by the Rigby and Brumby Partnership. Trainer Leonardo Alcala will saddle the colt, one of three entrants from his barn, from post position three with Nestor Duran returning to the saddle.

Crystal Boi enters the field as the third-fastest qualifier after capturing his trial by one and a half lengths on the second night of competition. The colt showed a strong burst of speed in the trials and will attempt to build on that effort when he breaks from post position seven with Rodrigo S. Vallejo aboard.

A full field of ten juveniles will line up for the 300-yard dash in the Grade 2 $435,395 Oklahoma Futurity Final, promising an exciting showcase of emerging two-year-old talent to highlight the early portion of the Remington Park meet.

The undercard for the evening is equally impressive, featuring the $50,000 Oklahoma Juvenile Stakes, the Grade 3 $259,655 Oklahoma Derby, the Grade 2 $20,000 Paul Harber Memorial Stakes, the Grade 1 $188,500 Oklahoma Paint and Appaloosa Futurity, and the $35,000 Oklahoma Paint and Appaloosa Futurity Juvenile.

A special memorial race will also be held as the fourth race on the card, the Cesar Gomez Memorial Purse, honoring the remarkably kind and talented jockey whose life was tragically lost eight years ago in a plane crash.
