Batman Can likely favorite in Oklahoma Stallion Stakes

Batman Can will shake the talented Shotgun Kowboy on Friday, when he starts as the probable favorite in the $50,000 colts-and-geldings division of the Oklahoma Stallion Stakes at Remington Park. The six-furlong race for 2-year-olds will share a card with the $50,000 fillies division of the Oklahoma Stallion Stakes, which drew the stakes winners Zealous Vision and Stratagem.

Remington will have a special first post of 1:30 p.m. Central.

KEY CONTENDERS

Batman Can (Beyers: 65-57)

◗ The stakes that Batman Can exits has produced one additional next-out winner in Kenny Do the Math, who accounted for a maiden special weight race at Remington after running seventh in the Oklahoma Classics Juvenile.

◗ Batman Can was a front-running debut winner in his only other start, a maiden special weight for Oklahoma-breds on Sept. 5 at Remington.
