Lack of tracks irke horse owners in Iowa race scene
Jim Woodward head of the Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association says the industry grows restless over slow progress in establishing a Thoroughbred track in Iowa. He criticizes Cedar Rapids backers and Polk County developers for perceived lack of urgency and financing issues after parimutuel licenses. He notes breeders have invested, bringing in stallions while promoters hesitate, and compares Iowa prospects with Louisiana Downs and Ak-Sar-Ben. He worries about losing prime summer dates if Cedar Rapids or Des Moines fail to move forward.
