Springboard Mile purse boosted to $400,000

Remington Park in Oklahoma City has boosted the purse of the Springboard Mile for 2-year-olds to $400,000, the track announced Tuesday. The race will be run Dec. 17. It is the co-richest offering of the meet that opens Aug. 25. The Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby at 1 1/8 miles is set for Sept. 24. Last year, the Springboard Mile was worth $300,000.

The Springboard Mile will be showcased on a card of five stakes that ends the meet. Other races on the card include the $100,000 Trapeze for 2-year-old fillies at a mile.

The Oklahoma Derby will anchor a card of 10 stakes. The $200,000 Remington Park Oaks at 1 1/16 miles and the $175,000 Governor's Cup at 1 1/8 miles are among the offerings.

Oklahoma Classics Night, which features eight divisional stakes for Oklahoma-breds, is set for Oct. 20.

There will be 31 stakes at the meet.
