Oaklawn Park is the only thoroughbred horse racing track in Arkansas. It officially opened on February 24, 1905 and in 2009, Oaklawn Park was ranked #9 race track in North America by the Horseplayers Association. Oaklawn has evolved into one of the premier race tracks in the United States and hosts the Arkansas Derby, a Kentucky Derby prep race, every year.
The first Arkansas Derby was run in 1936 for a purse of $5,000. By 1965, the Arkansas Derby was up to a $50,000 stakes and and started attracting top Kentucky Derby contenders. The Arkansas Derby became a $100,000 stakes in 1972 and the following the year the Fantasy Stakes, a prep race to the Kentucky Oaks, was first run. In 1983, the purse for the Arkansas Derby was increased to $250,000 and just one year later, the purse was again lifted to $500,000, in 1984.
