How that racing will be supported beyond wagering and the card casino remains to be seen. The track has invested heavily in its racing future with a new lighting system, new barns and a reconfiguration of the backside, including the training track, so the future direction is absolutely geared to racing at the Shakopee oval. What is unknown, however, is what will happen heading into 2024 and beyond. While 2023 is expected to be down slightly, purses should be competitive. The announcement in December of Canterbury’s reduced racing dates request represents an effort by the racetrack to keep purse amounts competitive without the additional funds.

The historic 10-year joint marketing agreement between Canterbury Park and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, proprietors of Music Lake and Little Six casinos, expired with no announcement of renewal, renegotiation or extension. ROCHESTER, MN – As 2023 rings in across the state of Minnesota, not all was renewal and hope.
