Jockeys

Prior to the 1980s, top jockeys from Oklahoma had to compete for big-money horse racing victories outside the state. Many of the best jockeys in the sport called Oklahoma home before going on to win the richest races in America. Since the start of pari-mutuel racing in Oklahoma, many jockeys have become local legends with long and prominent careers. The Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame at Remington Park honors the best jockeys who became stars, both nationally and locally.
