The History of the Remington Springboard Mile

The most important 2-year-old race at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, the Remington Springboard Mile has become an attraction for trainers of improving juveniles with an eye on the Kentucky Derby.

That importance was recognized when the 2017 race was made a part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series. As with most juvenile races in the series, the first four finishers gain points on a 10-5-3-2-1 basis.

Interestingly, the best horses to contest the race in recent years did not win the race. Caleb’s Posse, seventh in the 2010 renewal, went on the next year to win four graded stakes races, including the King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) and the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1). Two years later, the runner-up to the 128-1 winner Texas Bling was Will Take Charge, who was named Champion 3-Year-Old Male the following year after winning the Travers Stakes (G1) and finishing a close second in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).

2020 winner Senor Buscador pulled off a spectacular last-to-first finish, who was as far as 12 1/4 lengths back at the start and clawed his way to a 5 3/4 length victory. Dispite being in line for 10 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, he was disqualified for being on Lasix. Injuries plagued him the the years that followed, and a Grade 1 victory eluded him until his incredible win at the 2024 Saudi Cup. In fourth place with 50 yards to go, he made a late surge and would end up winning the race by the smallest margin ever while setting the speed record (1:49.50).
