Remington Park Racetrack

Remington Park is a horse racing track and racino located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Built in 1988, it was the first such track in the state's history. It was built by Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., the shopping mall developer who also built Thistledown and Louisiana Downs. Remington Park is now owned by Magna Entertainment Corporation.

The track features a quarter horse meet from March through early June, and a Thoroughbred meet from August through early December. The main dirt track is one mile in circumference, and the inner turf course measures seven furlongs.

The track made headlines at its opening for two reasons: it was the first legalized gambling venue in Oklahoma, and it was the first track in the United States to use a synthetic surface for its main track. Remington was the first (and only) American track to use Equitrack, which utilized grains of sand coated with wax.

The intent was to provide a safe all-weather racing surface that would reduce life-threatening injuries to horses and jockeys.

Alas, the Equitrack experiment failed when horsemen complained that the wax melted in Oklahoma's summer heat, and the track management replaced it with a traditional dirt surface. No other track used a synthetic surface until 2005, when Turfway Park installed an improved product called Polytrack.

Remington Park now includes a racino with slot machines.
