Will Rogers Downs sees strong thoroughbred competition as 2025 racing season wraps
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on May 29, 2025 CLAREMORE, Okla. — The 2025 spring thoroughbred racing season is officially in the books at Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs with 225 races run over 28 days and nearly $15 million in wagers. Nearly one year after a tornado tore through the track, thoroughbreds returned in full force to the newly constructed barns with an increased average field size compared to the 2024 season. “One of the biggest positives this season was how spread out the wins were across the board. We didn’t see only two or three big barns dominating the Winners’ Circle; almost every one won more than a few races. Even the trainer division was contentious from day one and went right down to the last race in determining the season’s leader,” said John Lies, racing secretary, announcer and oddsmaker at Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs. A young colt named Mister Omaha stole the season spotlight from the more experienced horses as the most notable runner and was named the 2025 Horse of the Meet. Following an effortless victory in the Welder Stakes in March, his 18-length romp in the $55,000 Will Rogers Handicap for Oklahoma-bred 3-year-olds on Kentucky Derby Day came under a 127-pound high weight and was completed in one mile with ease.
