Horse racing returning to Wyoming Downs

Horse racing will return to Wyoming Downs track in Evanston this fall for the first time in four years. Live races are coming Sept. 14 and 15. Wyoming Downs last hosted horse racing in 2009 under different ownership. State racing regulators agreed to license the track owner for the races. The owner plans to apply separately for permission to offer simulcast betting in four Wyoming cities. Wyoming Downs hopes to run 16 days of live racing next year, the number required by the state to receive a permit for simulcast betting. However, track owners can seek permission with the Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission, which regulates horse racing, to lower the requirement.
