Prairie Meadows Racetrack & Casino in Altoona will add an additional day of live horse racing to the 2024 schedule, on Thursday, Sept. 26, to make up for the Thoroughbred races canceled due to a storm on Monday, July 15.
The additional card, scheduled for a 6pm CT post time, will be the first day of the final week of live racing on the 2024 schedule at Prairie Meadows.
“There's a possibility of running as many as nine Thoroughbred races on Thursday, Sept. 26,” said Thoroughbred racing secretary Stuart Slagle. “We will take entries and draw for the added day on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024.”
The 2024 season at Prairie Meadows ends on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024, with the Iowa Classic Night program which includes season-ending championship stakes races for both Iowa-bred Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds.
