    Trained by Chuck Turco, Diamond Joe is a gelding by Dazzling Falls who won the Oklahoma Derby in 1995. Turco also trained Dazzling Falls… A winner of nine consecutive races, those victories have placed Diamond Joe atop the North American thoroughbred standings for most wins in 2012

    Overall Diamond Joe has won 10 of 15 career starts with earnings of $126,116… Jockey Cliff Berry will ride Diamond Joe, seeking his third career score in the Oklahoma Derby

    Diamond Joe was bred in Nebraska by Joe Miller and Roger Pelster. Miller retained owning rights with partner Joe Koziol… A large fan following from Nebraska is expected to make the trip south to Oklahoma City to cheer on their favorite horse, who won the first eight races in his streak of nine on five-furlong tracks in his home state.
