CROOKED RIVER RACECOURSE

The Oregon race track of Crooked River is situated in the town of Prineville and races for almost a week in mid-July. In 2015 the season stretched from 15th to 18th July. The town is known as the cowboy capital of Oregon and offers a series of events celebrating the state’s rich wild-west heritage.

The first such ‘Roundup’ events were held in 1916 and have taken place annually ever since, although racing did cease during the Second World War. By 1945 the Crooked River Roundups had returned.
