OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—MAY 18, 2017—Severe weather was the norm on Thursday night throughout most of western Oklahoma. As the storms moved to the Oklahoma City metro area, straight-line winds in excess of 50mph knocked out power to the track lighting system, ending the Thursday night program after six races.
The mid-card cancellation is the first of its kind during the American Quarter Horse Season at Remington Park since May 31, 2013 when a tornado outbreak rolled over Oklahoma City, forcing the end of racing that evening after two events.
The first race Friday, May 19 is at 6pm with the $30,000 Mister Lewie Memorial Stakes for Paints & Appaloosas at 400 yards. The action on Saturday, May 20 starts earlier than normal at 4pm with the special simulcast of the Preakness Stakes from Pimlico in Baltimore featured at 5:45pm. Sunday, May 21 is Fiesta at Remington Park with the first race at 1:30pm.
Tracked by over 124,000 fans on Facebook and 8,800 Twitter followers, Remington Park is the home of the Grade 1, $1,000,000 Heritage Place Futurity on June 3. Remington Park has provided over $167 Million to the State of Oklahoma general education fund since the opening of the casino in 2005. Open daily at 10:30am with free parking and admission, Oklahoma City’s only Racetrack & Casino is located at the junction of Interstates 35 & 44, in the heart of the Oklahoma City Adventure District.
