OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—APRIL 25, 2013—The American Quarter Horses will get into the mood for Extreme Racing Sunday on April 28 at Remington Park, competing in 11 races at 11 different distances.

Sunday’s 11 race card will begin with an 870-yard event around the turn and end with a 110-yard blast from the starting gate to the finish.
