BUEHRER FIRST INTO REMINGTON PARK AS STABLE AREA OPENS FOR THOROUHBREDS



OKLAHOMA CITY – Remington Park opened the stable gate early today, allowing trainers to bring horses onto the grounds to prepare for the upcoming season. Trainer Mark Buehrer was the first to arrive this morning with 17 horses at 4:48am.



Buehrer brought another 12 horses in a couple of hours later. His group of athletes were in barn C-7 and resting in their stalls before 9am. The early activity was by design.



“We wanted to get moved in before the heat,” Buehrer noted, referring to the scorching high 90-degree temperatures that would set in by midday. “We came in from a training center in Jones (east of Oklahoma City), we’ll be ready for training.”



The first morning for horses to work over the track is Wednesday, July 22.

Buehrer has enjoyed a solid 2026 to this point, winning 20 races at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore to start the year. He was second in the trainer standings there behind Scott Young who saddled 30 winners in the meet that ran from January 12 to early May 2. Buehrer has won 24 races overall this year, picking up four wins at the recently concluded meet at Fair Meadows in Tulsa.



Eireann continues to carry the flag for the Buehrer barn, the 4-year-old Oklahoma-bred competed three times at Will Rogers, winning once and running second twice. Her most recent effort was a runner-up spot in the $50,000 More Than Ready Stakes on April 21 in Claremore.



“She ran well with one win and two seconds,” Buehrer said. “She was beat by Letta’s Legacy in her last race but that is a really nice filly,” Buehrer said.



Now a 4-year-old Eireann has made 16 starts with six wins, five seconds, and a pair of thirds for total earnings of $217,000. The best of her three Remington Park wins came in the 2024 Slide Show Stakes for 2-year-old Oklahoma-bred fillies at one mile.



Buehrer has won 312 races overall in his career, according to Equibase, with total earnings of more than $4.5 million. He has 73 career victories at Remington Park.
