OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Odds-on favorite Mighty B Valiant overcame a sluggish start to win the $780,000 Remington Park Futurity on Saturday night.

With top quarter horse jockey G.R. Carter aboard, the 2-year-old son of Valiant Hero rallied in the final strides to pass Folly Del Rey. Send Me a Candy Tree finished third.

Mighty B Valiant was the fastest qualifier for the 10-horse race, which this year for the first time was limited to Oklahoma-bred horses. It’s the most lucrative state-bred futurity in the U.S.

Carter won the race for the fifth time and predicts the strapping colt will eventually run at Ruidoso Downs, home of the All American Futurity.

Mighty B Valiant is trained by Raymond Vargas and owned by You and Me Partners of Lawton. He’s 2-for-2 lifetime.
