Attention Horsemen: New Entry Schedule and Stakes Purse Increases at Retama Park

Retama Park has announced a new entry schedule for its 2007 Quarter Horse meet that begins on May 4. In addition, the track has announced some stakes purse increases due to the availability of monies from the Cross Species Fund distributed by the Texas Quarter Horse Association (TQHA).

The new entry schedule is as follows:

Race Day Entry Day
Friday Saturday
Saturday Wednesday
Sunday Thursday

The most notable thing is that entries for Fridays races will no longer be taken on Tuesdays. Instead, entries for Fridays will be taken on the preceding Saturdays.

The one exception to this will be entries for opening night, Friday, May 4th. Entries for that race card will be taken on Tuesday, May 1.

Purses for the following stakes have been boosted to the amounts below:

Stakes New Purse
Ben E. Keith Stakes $17,500
La Villita Stakes $17,500
King William Handicap $20,000
Universal City Handicap $17,500
Live Oak Handicap $20,000
Tower of the Americas Handicap $17,500
Colors of the Wind Handicap $17,500
San Marcos Handicap $17,500
