A TRUE WYOMING COMPANY,
BORN AND RAISED
Local entrepreneurs and elite industry veterans look to bring the first racecourse in South East Wyoming—and the first, and only, full-sized mile-long racecourse in the State of Wyoming. The folks behind the vision for Thunder Plains Park are committed to preserving the rich cultural heritage of horse racing in Wyoming.
DESTINATION:Â
ECONOMIC GROWTH
When the Wyoming legislature had the forethought to allow OTB to support horse breeding, racing, and training, they created a unique opportunity for the state to diversify its economy through the breeding and racing industry.
While racetracks are closing around the country, Wyoming racing is poised to take the next step in its evolution and bring the intent of the legislation passed in 2012 to fruition.
VISION MAP
There is a much bigger vision that includes numerous amenities and outdoor activities. This future expansion will increase quality of life to residents in the area while providing additional revenue & employment.
Site Plan
Thunder Plains Park will be located off the Hillsdale exit, approximately 10 miles east of Cheyenne. The initial phase of development shall include construction of the first full-sized racecourse in Wyoming.
EXPOSITION
It is our dream and mission to bring actual live, professional horse racing to this corner of the State. We’re looking to take the first step toward a long-term vision that encompasses meeting many diverse needs for the County.Â
