The Remington Park Oaks is a Listed American Thoroughbred horse race for three years old fillies, over a distance of miles on the dirt held annually in late September at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The event currently carries a purse of $200,000.
History The race was inaugurated in 1989 at a distance of 1 mile and 70 yards in mid March.
In 1994 the administration of Remington Park moved the event to the turf and lengthened to the distance of miles.
The event was not held in 1997 and 2002 and in 1996 and 2004 the event was moved off the turf track onto the main track due to inclement conditions. From 1998 the event was reduced to one mile and in 2005 the event was split into two divisions. With the introduction of the casino at Remington Park in 2006, stakes increased. The administration in 2009 reverted the race back to dirt at the current distance of miles and scheduled the race in the fall. In 2018 the event was upgraded to a Grade III to be the second event with such a classification at Remington Park.
In 2024 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Listed status.
