Para-mutuel Horse Races have been formally held for 41 years in Crook
Country, with races ran at a Prineville track as early as 1916.
Prineville horse racers have included names such as John Hudspeth,
Claude Hudspeth, Jack Rhoden, Tom Alexander, Michael and Amy Stafford,

strong horse racing history of the property our development sits on,
plus our desire to participate in community events solidified our
decision to take a large role in this year's and future horse races."
