Trainers

After continuously working with horses for years, the payback for trainers are the wins and share of purse money their athletes accumulate, making the time and effort worthwhile. The best trainers are able to achieve success at the highest levels of racing, getting the most out of their horses as they compete in big-dollar stakes events, while creating lasting memories. The Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame at Remington Park honors these top trainers for their career accomplishments.
