REMINGTON PARK SPRING STAKES SCHEDULE NEARS $6 MILLION IN ESTIMATED PURSES, $1,000,000 HERITAGE PLACE FUTURITY TOP LIST
OKLAHOMA CITY – January 14, 2022 – The 2022 Remington Park American Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa Season begins Thursday, March 3, continuing for 50 dates through May 28.
The season’s stakes schedule features a total of seven Grade 1 events for Quarter Horses, two of them restricted. They will include estimated purses of $925,000 for the restricted Grade 1 Remington Park Futurity and $1 million for the Grade 1 Heritage Place Futurity. The stakes schedule also includes seven Grade 1 races for Paints and Appaloosas for a total of 14 Grade 1s this season.
The Heritage Place Futurity on closing Day, Saturday, May 28, is the cornerstone race annually for 2-year-old Quarter Horses. The final day of racing features 10 stakes races with a total estimated value of more than $2 million. Last year’s purse in the Heritage Place Futurity was largest in history at Remington Park – $1,314,980. Trials are scheduled for May 5-6.
The Remington Park Futurity, for 2-year-old Quarter Horses, is scheduled for Saturday, April 16. Trials for that race are set for April 1-2. The Remington Park Futurity is a restricted Grade 1 event for Oklahoma-breds.
The historic Grade 2 Oklahoma Futurity will begin the big-money futurity proceedings on Saturday, March 19. The 81st edition of Quarter Horse racing’s longest-running futurity is estimated to have a purse of $475,000.
Last year’s Remington Park races included the 2021 AQHA World Champion, Danjer, trained by Dean Frey of Edmond, Okla. Now a 6-year-old gelding, Danjer is expected to return this season to follow the same starting path he took to his title status, which could include attempts on the Grade 1, $100,000 Leo Stakes on April 30 and the Grade 1, $250,000 Debbie Schauf Remington Park Championship on May 28.
Danjer showed why he was voted the World Champion with the effort put forth to score in Remington’s top race for older horses, by coming from the clouds, flying to victory like Pegasus on the season’s final night.
Breaking poorly from the gate, Danjer was in grave danger, chasing a champion in his own right, Apollitical Pence, who broke like a rocket. Apollitical Pence, the winner of two consecutive Champion of Champions at Los Alamitos, looked like a sure winner with 100 yards to go. Danjer, under a red-hot Cody Smith (three stakes wins on closing night 2021), found another gear and flew past the leader like he was standing still.
“My horse likes to eyeball a horse in front of him and use that horse as a target to catch. That horse had us daylighted. It’s just a testament to how fast Danjer is,” said Smith.
Danjer is fast indeed, recording the highest speed index of the night at 103, stopping the clock in 21.217 seconds for 440 yards.
Frey was a man of few words after the big win.
“Undescribable how I feel,” he said. “It was such a good feeling. Going to be hard trying to sleep tonight.”
Danjer was nearly unbeatable last year against older horses, winning five of his seven starts. He was not only overall World Champion but also repeated in two categories, Champion Aged Horse and Champion Aged Gelding. Smith was aboard for all attempts in Danjer’s Championship season.
The complete stakes schedule has 41 races, worth total purses estimated to be close to $6 million. That’s two more stakes races than 2021. The two stakes added this year are the $30,000 Oklahoma Paint and Appaloosa Horse Futurity Juvenile Stakes on Saturday, March 19 for 2-year-olds going 300 yards, and the $50,000-added Heritage Place Oaks on closing day for 3-year-old Quarter Horse fillies, covering 400 yards.
Other than the major purses near the $1 million mark or over, there are six other races whose purses exceed $200,000. The Grade 3, $250,000 Oklahoma Derby and the Grade 2, $475,000 Oklahoma Futurity on March 19. The restricted Grade 2, $350,000 Remington Park Derby on April 16 for Oklahoma-breds. The final night of the season on May 28 will include the Grade 1, $275,000 Speedhorse Graham Paint & Appaloosa Futurity, the Grade 2, $350,000 Heritage Place Derby and the Grade 1, Debbie Schauf Invitational older Quarter Horses at the classic distance of 440 yards.
The schedule of stakes races begins on opening weekend, Friday, March 4, with the $68,000 Mighty Deck Three for eligible Oklahoma-breds, 3 and older, at 250 yards. The stakes schedule holds 12 events for eligible Oklahoma-breds.
The opening week (March 3-6) will host plenty of trials, qualifying contenders for the first futurity and derby of the season. Qualifying trials begin Friday, March 4, for the Grade 1, $175,000 Oklahoma Paint & Appaloosa Futurity at 300 yards for 2-year-olds. Trials continue Saturday, March 5, for the Oklahoma Futurity for 2-year-old Quarter Horses and that will be followed with trials on Sunday, March 6, for the Oklahoma Derby for 3-year-old Quarter Horses at 350 yards.
American Quarter Horse Association Challenge races are scheduled again at Remington Park, taking place on different race days on the calendar. The finals for the Grade 2, $60,000-added Bank of America Oklahoma Championship Challenge will take place on Sunday, April 3, at 440 yards, for 3-year-olds and older. Trials could be contested for the race on March 18. The Grade 2, $27,500-added Remington Park Distance Challenge will be run on Sunday, April 24, at 870 yards, for 3-year-olds and older. Trials, if needed, will be run on April 9.
Many of the long-distance runners tend to utilize the Grade 3, $50,000 SLM Big Daddy Stakes as a tune-up for their turn races. The “Big Daddy” will be held on March 6 at 550 yards. The longer stakes races around the hook begin with the Grade 2, $50,000 Pauls Valley Stakes at 870 yards on Thursday, March 31.

CATHEY ACCEPTS DIRECTOR OF RACING HELM AT REMINGTON PARK
OKLAHOMA CITY – When 2023 racing begins at Remington Park, it will start with new guidance in the racing department. Kelly Cathey has accepted the director of racing position and will oversee the operation for all breeds competing at the Oklahoma City facility.
The American Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa Season will begin March 9. The 2023 Thoroughbred Season will get underway in late August.
Cathey brings more than 30 years of experience in horse racing to Remington Park. He first worked with horses in the late 1980s as a teenager, assisting his father who was a trainer. He has also served as a groom, pony person, assistant trainer, valet and assistant starter.
Cathey moved into track management in 1998 at Retama Park in Selma, Texas. He has also worked for Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas; Sam Houston Race Park in Houston and Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla. He has held nearly every position associated with racing, pari-mutuel wagering and simulcast operations throughout his career.
Since 2013 Cathey has worked for the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission as a state steward (2013-2015), advancing to the role of executive director of the commission in 2015. He will leave that post to become the director of racing at Remington Park.
“Remington Park and Global Gaming are excited to have Kelly Cathey join our racing team,” said Matt Vance, executive vice president of racing operations at Remington Park. “Kelly has a resume reflective of more than 30 years in the sport, working as a racing executive and regulator. His extensive experience with both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses and their respective organizations throughout the region makes him uniquely qualified to lead our racing department at Remington Park.”
Horsemen will bring horses onto the grounds at Remington Park beginning Feb. 6 with the initial morning of training set for Tuesday, Feb. 7. The first night of the spring season falls on Thursday, March 9 and the 50-date schedule continues through Saturday, June 3. ... ’Expand’See Less
It continues to be the goal of Remington Park and OQHRA to provide a race meeting of the highest quality and integrity. As a condition of entry, no horse will be allowed to enter a race at Remington Park unless results of a negative hair test have been provided to Remington Park prior to entry. All pre-entry hair testing will be facilitated by OQHRA. Pre-entry hair tests will be good for 90 days beginning the day after the sample is collected. All tests will expire after 90 days and horses must re-test to remain eligible, regardless of if the horse started in a race within those 90 days. In no event will a horse be eligible to enter a race unless a current negative hair test is on file at Remington Park in accordance with the conditions set forth in the condition book. The Remington Park Racing Office nor OQHRA staff receive the results of hair testing. All test results submitted to Remington Park management will remain confidential. Any horse receiving a positive hair test will be unable to enter until a negative test is obtained, there is no penalty to the trainer.
To better serve horsemen, OQHRA will be setting up offsite testing days at Retama Park, Lone Star Park and Blue Ribbon Downs. The OQHRA testing crew will be available at each location one day, allowing horsemen the opportunity to get horses tested closer to where they are stabled/training. Horses needing to be tested in other states do have the opportunity to have an offsite test done by a state veterinarian working under the auspices of a State Regulatory Agency.
