Cherokee Nation Entertainment has leased part of a former horse track (Blue Ribbon Downs) to a local group of horse trainers and businessmen in Sallisaw who will operate a training facility at the site. The property, purchased last year by Cherokee Nation Entertainment, includes a track that allows trainers to certify their horses to run competitively at other tracks.
The lease will allow the company, Sallisaw Equine Training Center, to use barns, stalls and the track to train horses year-round. Cherokee Nation Entertainment retains use of the main building on the site and the rest of the property, and the building is available for community use. Information: 810-9780.
