A Winning Event Place? You Bet!

January 4, 2010 by Christy McCormack

What could be more thrilling than watching your favorite horse cross the finish line?

Sharing the action, fun and excitement with your entire group of racing fans at Remington Park in Oklahoma City!

Hello, my name is Christy McCormack, Remington Park’s Groups Sales Manager.

I’ve  worked at Remington Park just about my entire adult life!  I began at the age of 22 in Guest Relations helping people navigate the facility.  Next, I went to the Racing Information Center where I assisted people in understanding the program and learning how to wager.   In 1996, I became Group Sales Coordinator and  promoted to Group Sales Manager when Remington Park’s casino opened in 2005.

Remington Park offers exceptional value to event and meeting planners.   You can book your racing group from 20 – 600 people and enjoy free stadium seating.  Or, if you wish to pre-purchase catering and programs, we’ll also be happy to arrange those services, as well. 

For motor coach operators, we offer two packages.  Our Tourism Package allows operators to include Remington Park as part of a tour package with no time limit at the casino.   This free package includes $10 free-play for guests and free sourvenirs – even if the motor coach is simply visting Remington Park as a rest stop.  Lunch (including box lunches) for the group can be pre-purchased at a discounted rate.

We also have a Preferred Operator Package for motor coach operators.  When set up in advance, Remington Park  pays reputable operators a per person commission with a 12 12 month, 4 group minimum contract.

Especially popular are  Remington Park’s complimentary stable tours enjoyed by children, adults and seniors.  For about two hours, groups ranging in size from 10 to 50 have the pleasure of visiting our barns to experience “A Day in the Life of a Race Horse.”  

You might be surprised to learn that about 85% of Remington Park’s Group Sales business comes from catering.  Our luxury suites accommodate 15 – 65 people for wedding rehearsal dinners, wedding showers, bachelor parties, birthday parties, as well as monthly corporate meetings.   Our Eclipse Banquet Room is perfect for larger events, up to 350 reception style and 300 banquet style.

Remington Park hosts a great number of corporate events, especially day meetings that often roll into social entertaining and wagering in the evening.   In January 2010, we will begin a $3 – $5 million dollar renovation and upgrading our meeting spaces which will include the latest technology in audio/visual equipment.       

If you’re looking for a unique place to take your tour group, hold a corporate meeting or checking out venue choices for your wedding or other special event, don’t settle for a location that odds are will only “place or “show.”  Bet on the favorite to win every time – Remington Park!
