Don Jackson, one of the most prominent figures for more than 50 years at Grants Pass Downs, was a pioneer in developing the interest of horse racing in Southern Oregon. Don Jackson’s racehorse “Flying Lark” led the nation in wins for two years in the 1980s and earned accolades for many years after. As an honorary tribute to Don, the track at Grants Pass Downs was named after him becoming the “Don Jackson Racing Facility” which is located at the Josephine County Fairgrounds.
A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN!
On March 27, 2019, the Oregon Racing Commission (ORC) approved a 3-year application from Grants Pass Downs to host commercial horse races, and approved simulcasting rights for off-track betting operations throughout the state.
Following the closure of Portland Meadows, Grants Pass Downs is now the only entity approved by the ORC to host live commercial horse races in Oregon.
