In 1984, Prairie Meadows received a license from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission to operate a horse racing facility following the legalization of parimutuel betting by the state the previous year. Groundbreaking ceremonies for Prairie Meadows took place in 1987.
Prairie Meadows held its first day of racing on March 1, 1989. However, the track experienced financial difficulties in its initial years, leading to a bankruptcy filing in November 1991. Live racing was suspended for the 1992 season, but revenues from off-track betting enabled racing to resume the following year.
Prairie Meadows, located in Altoona, Iowa, is a Racino that hosts both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing from May to September. The facility features a one-mile dirt track with a chute for Quarter Horses. Additionally, the site includes a casino with 1,900 slot machines and table games such as poker, roulette, and blackjack. The track area has also been a venue for free concerts by national musical acts in recent years.
