Remington Park, Horse racing venue in Oklahoma City, United States
Remington Park is a horse racing venue in Oklahoma City, United States. It features a one-mile dirt track and a seven-furlong turf course, along with a casino that offers slot machines and simulcast racing.
Remington Park opened in 1988 as the first pari-mutuel track in Oklahoma. It was built by Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. and later purchased by Global Gaming RP in 2009.
The Heritage Place Futurity in May draws a crowd and showcases the speed of Quarter Horses. The Oklahoma Derby in fall is a major social event, with locals dressing up and gathering around the track.
The venue is easy to reach by car and has ample parking. Racing seasons alternate between Quarter Horses in spring and Thoroughbreds in fall, so check the calendar before visiting.
The track originally used a synthetic surface called Equitrack, which failed in the Oklahoma heat. It was replaced with a traditional dirt surface, and no other US track used a synthetic surface until 2005.
