Tax, the winner of the Grade 2 Jim Dandy, has been scratched from the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby on Sunday at Remington Park but will be considered for a start in the Breeders' Cup Classic, trainer Danny Gargan said Sunday. 

Tax arrived last week in Oklahoma City from his base at Belmont Park. 

"He spiked a shipping temperature the day we got there," Gargan said Sunday. "It came right back down [but] we decided to wait and do the right thing by the horse.

"We'll bring him home." 

Gargan said Tax could be trained up to the Breeders' Cup Classic.
