Horse racing is also held on the 'Oregon summer fair circuit', consisting of several weekends at Grants Pass Downs in Grants Pass, plus 3- and 4-day meets in Union, Prineville, Tillamook, and Burns. Grants Pass Downs subsequently secured a 3-year commercial racing license for a track in Grants Pass beginning with the 2020-21 racing season, including the rights for off-track betting and to simulcast races held elsewhere. The last day for simulcast racing was Decemand the poker room closed December 15, 2019.
