The thoroughbred meet takes place from March through May and is highlighted by several $50,000 stakes races for Oklahoma-breds and open company, while the quarter horse meet is held September through November and also features paint and appaloosa races.

History: Will Rogers Downs is located in Claremore in Rogers County, Oklahoma near Tulsa. The track opened in 1987 and was the second parimutuel betting racetrack in Oklahoma at the time. Will Rogers struggled financially for many years and actually went bankrupt in 2001. The Cherokee Nation purchased the derelict track in 2004 and was able to revive it though $2 million in capital improvements and the introduction of casino gaming to the site.
Facilities: An 2,700-seat grandstand oversees this impressive facility which consists of a one-mile dirt oval. The on-course casino hosts 250 electronic gaming machines. One of the big quirks of the Downs complex is the largest RV park in the state of Oklahoma is housed in the grounds.
