Information on Double Registered Horses
When registering your American Paint Horse and if it will be registered with the American Quarter Horse Association be sure to select a name that is acceptable at both registries. If you plan to race, all double registered horses must be named the same at APHA and AQHA. The horse will not be allowed to race at all if the names are not the same.
Important Changes and Update
The following changes will be implemented for the remainder of the Remington meet and year due to the pandemic and closings. Remington Park elected to remain open and continue racing as an advocate of the horsemen in lieu of shutting down completely and that the OQHRA’s quick implementation of the changes will help in preserving added monies to the future years racing. • Overnights and stakes races will be cut by
40% starting 3/18/20.
• This effects Futurities, Derbies, and
Oklahoma Bred money.
• The Speedhorse Graham Paint & Appaloosa
Futurity-G1 will run with $50,000 added
instead of the $100,000 added.
• Fair Meadows Tulsa and Will Rogers Downs
will be affected as well, but it is unknown at this time. Full concentration is focused on Remington Park at this time.
