Remington Park

Remington Park is a horse racing facility in Oklahoma City with two tracks that feature thoroughbred and quarter horse racing. The track complex's size is approximately 370 acres and is set in a neighborhood on the northeast side of the city, in close proximity to a host of other attractions including museums.

Remington Park features a one-mile dirt track and a 7/8-mile turf course. The homestretch length of the dirt track is 1025 feet. It recently installed lighting to permit night racing.

Quarter horse racing is typically run in the spring months while thoroughbred racing is held in the fall. It offers a total of about 80 live racing days each year.

The Remington Park Derby is the track's annual flagship event. Some of the other major races held at Remington Park are the Edmund Handicap, Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. Memorial Breeders Cup and the Remington Futurity.
