heavy wagering favorite. He<br />
had done nothing wrong in<br />
four prior starts during the<br />
season, including a win in the<br />
Oklahoma Derby in March and<br />
setting a 250-yard track record<br />

Capo De Capi as well for the<br />
Heritage Place Derby and the<br />
pair lined up right next to each<br />
other in the starting gate in<br />
post-positions 2 and 3. While<br />

Oklahoma Derby. The 3-yearold<br />
colt handled 400 yards in<br />

to place and $3.60 to show.<br />
