Horses

Oklahoma has long been connected to great horses in racing, long before the sport became legal on a pari-mutuel basis in the state in the early 1980s. Once legalized, the ability to see the athletic stars of the sport became readily available at racetracks across the state. The Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame at Remington Park recognizes many great horses with ties to the state, from long ago and from a more modern era, who have succeeded at the highest levels, locally and nationally.
