OKLAHOMA CITY, OK–APRIL 11, 2014–What do breeders and owners from Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Pennsylvania all have in common? They choose to send their horses to Oklahoma for the Quarter Horse & Mixed Breed Meet at Remington Park. All in all, owners from a total of 24 states, Canada and Mexico are represented in this weekend’s races at Remington Park all vying for a piece of over $919,000 in available purse money.

In tonight’s (Friday) 9th race, watch for 2012 Remington Park Oklahoma-bred Futurity runner up, A Will And Away to make his second start this year for trainer Verle Bohner.
