Asmussen Wins 17th Remington Title

Steve Asmussen captured his 17th Remington Park training title–and sixth in a row–while Danny Caldwell won the owner's title for the second consecutive time and 12th time overall when the Oklahoma track concluded its season last Friday.

“I'm obviously very blessed to have had all the opportunities I've had a Remington Park and I'm very thankful,” Asmussen said. “Pablo [Ocampo] has been with me to handle all the horses and he deserves a lot of the credit.”

Caldwell is Remington Park's all-time winningest owner.

“I'm proud to say this is my home track,” Caldwell said. “It's a privilege to race here. It's hard to win races anywhere, but especially at Remington Park.”
