TULSA, OK–JULY 19, 2024–Ima Fancy Eye Opener, a gray son of Im A Fancy Pyc racing for Shania Cox and Terry Dale Cox, will put his win streak on the line in Saturday's 350-yard, $173,682 Speedhorse Futurity (G3) at Fair Meadows at Tulsa.

Ima Fancy Eye Opener won all three of his starts at Remington Park, including the 350-yard, $70,000 Easy Jet Stakes (RG3) for Oklahoma-bred juveniles on May 25. The gelding's four-race win streak includes a neck victory in one of eight Speedhorse Futurity trials on July 6.

Ima Fancy Eye Opener drew post 3 and will be ridden by Jesus Salazar for trainer Rhonda Valdviia.

Eric J. Neumeier's Okie Power, a stakes-placed son of Power Jam (TB) trained by Cosme Velazquez, drew post 8 and will be ridden by Randy Vega. A $20,000 buy at last year's Heritage Place Yearling Sale, the brown gelding has earned $39,202 from six outs, and he ran second,  1 1/4 lengths behind winner Relentless American, in the 330-yard, $100,000 Remington Park Juvenile Stakes (R) on April 29.

A total of four Quarter Horse stakes will be contested on Fair Meadows' closing-night program, including the 350-yard, $63,624 Speedhorse Derby for 3-year-olds, the 350-yard, $15,000 Rocky Heinzig Stakes for 3-year-olds and older, and the 350-yard, $15,000 Cherokee Nation Stakes for 2-year-olds.
