(Radio Iowa) – Greyhound racing is heading into its final lap in Iowa after 35 years of racing. Racing and Gaming Administrator, Brian Ohorilko, says the operator of the Iowa Greyhound Park in Dubuque set things in motion at Thursday’s Racing and Gaming Commission meeting.  “The Iowa Greyhound Association as part of their request for license renewal — request to reduce their race meet to 18 days — and also to end Greyhound racing after 2022,” Ohorilko says. He says operators don’t feel it is viable to keep the track open.

He says a number of things made it difficult for the industry to go much further — including the lack of greyhounds available. Ohorilko says many other states have ended greyhound racing — leaving fewer dogs to race. The track in Dubuque is the last Iowa greyhound track, and had survived using payments from two other tracks that wanted to close. “As part of the original greyhound cessation legislation that was passed approximately seven years ago — the two racetracks that offered greyhound racing, Q-Casino, and Horshoe Casino — could opt out of greyhound racing and pay a fee over seven years,” according to Ohorilko. “Those payments have been coming in every year and the last payment would be made in 2022.”

Ohorilko says the city of Dubuque has to approve the request to cut the greyhound season to 18 days. The Racing and Gaming Commission website shows the first dog races began at the Dubuque Greyhound Park, which opened in June of 1985. The was followed by the Bluffs Run facility in Council Bluffs in February of 1986 and the Waterloo Greyhound Park, which began racing on October 15, 1986.

The Atlantic Trojans (3-5) football team has put together back to back wins late in the season and hope to add one more with a home tilt against Creston (5-3) on Friday night at the Trojan Bowl.

The Panthers are looking to edge in to the playoffs and will need a win to give them that shot. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said the Panthers are a big and physical team.

Atlantic has been able to get the offense working more fluidly in the past two contests and Coach Brummer hopes they can build on that this week.

It will be the final gamenight experience for 9 seniors for the Trojans and Coach Brummer hopes they get some good support at home.

You can hear a full interview with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. Friday afternoon. Kickoff for the game is 7:00 p.m. at the Trojan Bowl.
