Cherokee Casino & Hotel – Will Rogers Downs

Cherokee Casino & Hotel – Will Rogers Downs is a horse-racing track in Claremore, Oklahoma, United States. It opened in 1987, at Rogers County.

History of Cherokee Casino & Hotel – Will Rogers Downs

1987 – The Track opened in August 1987 as the second pari-mutuel track in Oklahoma, located at Highway 20 just 3 miles east of Claremore in Rogers County, Oklahoma, near Tulsa, currently owned and operated by the Cherokee Nation. 

1988 – The racecourse was considered the showcase of Oklahoma horse racing during its opening year, but such a title no longer existed when the great racetrack Remington Park was unveiled in Oklahoma City, adding to the fast deterioration of the track.

2001 – The Track experienced bankruptcy and closure. 

2004 – The Cherokee Nation purchased and renovated the track, adding casino gaming. It officially opened again on December 4, 2005. 

2006 – Live racing returned on February 24, 2006, holding two separate meets, one for thoroughbreds and the other for quarter horses and mixed breeds.
