Revenant Moon edges Hock It to You in Oklahoma Futurity

A troublesome neighbor was no bother for Revenant Moon in Saturday’s $477,200 Oklahoma Futurity at Remington Park.

Prior to the start of the 300-yard race, De Laurentis was fractious in the stall adjacent to Revenant Moon and eventually scratched. Once the race started, Revenant Moon ran to expectations as the favorite, edging 5-2 Hock It to You by a neck.

Ridden by Jose Alvarez, Revenant Moon ($3.40) was timed in 15.39 seconds and earned $190,880 for the partnership Trey Odom, Scott Bryant and Norman Allen and trainer Trey Wood.

Shy Kisser, the 43-1 longshot in a field of eight, finished third, beaten 1 1/2 lengths.
