Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs begins its 11th consecutive racing season Mar. 16 with 29 days of live Thoroughbred racing. The meet lasts until May 23, with first post at 1:15 p.m. Three stakes will be worth $55,000 apiece-the Apr. 20 Cinema S., the May 18 More Than Even S. and May 19 Cherokee Nation Classic Cup.
“We are encouraged by more stall applications for this meet than any other since I've been here, and response to the condition book has been positive,” racing secretary, announcer and oddsmaker John Lies said. “We hope to proceed in the direction we headed last spring by increasing our exposure and handle through nurturing our relationship with TVG.”
