Greyhound racing is heading into its final lap in Iowa after more than 35 years of racing.
Racing and Gaming Administrator, Brian Ohorilko, says operator of the Iowa Greyhound Park in Dubuque set things in motion at Thursday’s Racing and Gaming Commission meeting.
“The Iowa Greyhound Association as part of their request for license renewal — request to reduce their race meet to 18 days — and also to end Greyhound racing after 2022,” Ohorilko says. He says operators don’t feel it is viable to keep the track open, with a number of things that made it difficult for the industry to go much further — including the lack of greyhounds available.
