Oklahoma Bred/Jockey Agreement

In previous years it was customary for the Remington Park Bookkeeper to automatically deduct the owner’s account an additional payment to jockeys based on the Oklahoma Bred Purse Supplement earned. We must now require each owner to “Opt-In” for that deduction. Each owner that wishes to pay their jockey based on the additional purse supplement must complete a form and submit it to the bookkeeper at Remington Park BEFORE the running of the race in which they have an eligible Oklahoma Bred horse. This form will authorize the deduction of the owner’s earnings for payment to the jockeys.

This online form can be conveniently completed by owners, and upon submission, a copy will be forwarded directly to the track's bookkeeper. If you would prefer to have a hard copy, those can be obtained from the horsemen’s bookkeeper.

To submit the form electronically please follow the link below:
