OKLAHOMA CITY, OK–APRIL 17, 2014– This weekend’s schedule of racing is top-of-the-line! It’s a virtual Stakes-a-Palooza with a total of eight stakes races and over $1.8 Million up for grabs in the Remington Park Oklahoma-Bred Futurity, Derby and Juvenile, making it the richest state bred racing lineup in our industry. We can barely contain our enthusiasm in anticipation of the talent on tap over the next four days of racing. Here’s what you can look forward to this weekend in Oklahoma City.

Thursday, April 17 First Post Time 6 p.m. – An exciting lineup of maiden, allowance and claiming races featuring heavy hitter and Remington Park favorite, Send Me A Candy Tree ($391,340) in tonight’s 11th race. The Oklahoma bred powerhouse makes her second appearance this season at Remington Park after her third place finish in the Decketta Stakes three weeks ago.

Friday, April 18 First Post Time 6 p.m. – Stakes action in the 4th race with the Victoria Ennis Memorial Stakes for Oklahoma-Bred Paints & Appaloosas.

Saturday, April 19 First Post Time 6 p.m. – A crescendo of stakes races beginning in the 7th race with the Grade 2 Mister Lewie Memorial Stakes for Paints & Appaloosas headlined by Major Tom who makes his first start since setting a World Record in the Speedhorse Graham Derby on March 22. The Laico Bird Stakes is the 8th race on the card which includes ten tough Oklahoma-bred two-year-olds comprised of 100% winners. Nine of ten starters in the Laico Bird Stakes are coming off of a win in their last start including the undefeated Coronas Miss Perry, who is two for two.

Race 9 is the Grade 2 Bob Moore Memorial Stakes featuring several heavy hitter’s including Jody Pops Zoomer, winner of the Grade 1 Texas Classic Derby in 2013. In the trials to last year’s Texas Classic Derby, Jody Pops Zoomer set the fastest time while breaking a track record set by AQHA Champion Dashing Perfection in 1997. Dashing Perfection was a homebred owned and campaigned by Bob Moore. We celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Remington Park Oklahoma-Bred Futurity and Derby in the 10th and 11th races to wrap up Saturday’s stakes program on a high note. The Restricted Grade 3 futurity features the largest payout since it’s inaugural running in 1989. The field of 10 futurity horses from two days of trials is led by fastest qualifier Specials Jamie.
