Remington Park has set post times for upcoming Monday and Tuesday programs over the final two months of the season, in addition to moving the $200,000 Springboard Mile to a new date.
The Springboard Mile, the top 2-year-old stakes event of the Remington Park season, has been moved to Friday night, Dec. 18, along with five other stakes races originally scheduled for Dec. 20. The extended program on Friday, Dec. 18 will begin at 5pm.
The Springboard Mile has been a key final 2-year-old race on the calendar for many in recent years who have navigated the road and made a start in the Kentucky Derby the following spring. Alumni, with year and finish position, who have competed in the Springboard Mile and then later in the Kentucky Derby include Will Take Charge (2012, second), Suddenbreakingnews (2015, second), Combatant (2017, second) and Long Range Toddy (2019 winner).
Remington Park will race on Mondays and Tuesdays at the end of November and in the final two weeks of the season in December. The first race on those dates will take place at Noon.
The final alteration in starting time will happen Sunday, Dec. 20, when the last night of the Remington Park season will begin at 7pm.
Following are the new post times on dates where there has been a change:
Monday, Nov. 16 – Noon
