Remington Park is a horse racing track and casino located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The main dirt track is one mile in circumference with the inner turf course measuring seven furlongs. The track features an American Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa season March through June. The Thoroughbred season begins August through December. In addition, Remington Park annually hosts the richest race in Oklahoma, the $1,000,000 Heritage Place Futurity in May and the $400,000 Oklahoma Derby headlines the Thoroughbred season in the fall. The rest of the year the park is open for casino gaming and simulcast racing.
Remington Park officially opened on September 1, 1988. At the time, it was the only American track to use a synthetic surface for its main track. The synthetic Equitrack, which utilized grains of sand coated with a wax polymer, did not hold up during the very warm Oklahoma summers and Remington Park replaced it with a more traditional racing surface. No other American track would use a synthetic surface until 2005.
Since 1995, Remington Park has included a casino with 750 slot machines. In 2009, the Horseplayers Association of North America rated Remington Park #3 out 65 Thoroughbred racetracks in North America.
