TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (April 4, 2025) — Known for his authentic lyrics, Texas-native Jackson Wendell is heading to Ancient Oaks Tavern inside Cherokee Casino Tahlequah on Saturday, April 26, at 8 p.m.

The show is free and open to the public ages 21 and up.

Born and raised in Lufkin, Texas, Jackson Wendell grew up surrounded by two things: music and the great outdoors. His family loved to travel, which meant that he was homeschooled — a lifestyle that allowed him to discover a deeper connection to music and songwriting. Wendell’s self-taught guitar skills led him to join his church’s worship team, and at just 14, he penned his first single, “Ain’t Coming Home,” which he later released at age 17.

Wendell’s decision to pursue music and higher education at Stephen F. Austin University led him to Banita Creek Hall, a renowned music venue in Nacogdoches, Texas, where he found a home on stage. As a college sophomore, he’s had the incredible opportunity to open for major acts like Randy Rogers, Scotty McCreery and William Beckmann.

CLAREMORE, Okla. (Feb. 26, 2025) — Thoroughbreds are officially back on the track as Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs welcomes the 2025 spring racing season to Claremore. The season runs from Monday, March 3, through Wednesday, May 14.

The 28-day season includes a total of seven stakes races, including the return of the Blue Ribbon and Welder stakes. Daily races will post at 1:15 p.m. every Monday and Tuesday, select Wednesdays and Saturday, May 3, during the simulcast of the Kentucky Derby. Daily average purses are estimated at $170,000, with raises in the handicap, maiden and allowance categories.

"Horsemen are anxious to get back to racing at WRD this spring. Last season we inaugurated the Blue Ribbon and Welder stakes races for Oklahoma-bred 3-year-olds in March that were well received. They are back on the schedule, and we've added a pair of overnight handicap races for those same horses to run back in April,” said John Lies, racing secretary, announcer and oddsmaker at Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs. “The atmosphere provided by the on-track crowd on Kentucky Derby Day was undoubtedly one of the highlights here last spring, and we look forward to live racing on that day again this year." 

Will Rogers Downs features all new barns this spring, after a tornado following the 2024 season heavily damaged the property. The barns were completed earlier this year and are already at capacity for the season.

“Spring is such an exciting time for us as we gear up for the new season at Will Rogers Downs. It’s incredible to see the resiliency of this property and the hard work put in by the staff to build it back more beautiful than ever,” said Danielle Barber, executive director of the Thoroughbred Racing Association of Oklahoma. “We can’t wait to welcome fans, owners and trainers for what promises to be an outstanding season.”

Stakes races begin on March 17 with the running of the $50,000 guaranteed Blue Ribbon Stakes. A $50,000 purse is also guaranteed on the next day with the Welder Stakes.

The $55,000 guaranteed purses are available on March 24 with the Miranda Diane Stakes and on March 25 with the TRAO Classic Sprint. The Wilma Mankiller Stakes on April 14 and the Highland Ice Stakes on April 15 will both feature $50,000 guaranteed purses. Stakes wrap on May 6 with the $55,000 guaranteed More Than Even Stakes.
