OKLAHOMA CITY — The Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby headlines the stakes schedule for the upcoming 2023 Remington Park Thoroughbred Season. The 67-date schedule starts Aug. 18 and continues through Dec. 15.

The Oklahoma Derby is one of two graded stakes events featured Sept. 24. The Grade 3, $200,000 Remington Park Oaks bolsters the only Sunday of racing during the season as part of a program with eight stakes races worth $1,025,000. The season will come to a close Dec. 15 with the $300,000 Springboard Mile as the main event. Remington Park’s richest race for 2-year-olds also serves as a points-qualifying race for the 2024 Kentucky Derby. The Springboard night has five other stakes races, including the $75,000 Trapeze Stakes at one mile for 2-year-old fillies.

The top Oklahoma-breds will have their annual night to shine as the Oklahoma Classics takes place Oct. 20. The 10race card of divisional events is worth $1,120,000 with the $175,000 Classics Cup leading the way.

The stakes schedule includes seven races over the turf course with the $75,000 Remington Green and the $75,000 Ricks Memorial sharing the top spot as the richest, and only, open company turf stakes races.

Oklahoma-breds will have 18 stakes opportunities throughout the season with five of them over the turf.
