Horse Racing

The World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is built on a heritage that showcases the athletic majesty of the horse, including racing.

As one of the few racing meets left in the region, the 2025 race meet will feature full days of live racing action with pari-mutuel wagering.

The 2025 race meet will kick off on May 3 & 4 with “Derby Days” to coincide with the running of the Kentucky Derby. But that’s not all! There will also be live racing on the following weekend on Mother’s Day, May 11.

Live pari-mutuel horse racing will be part of the events for the entire 3 days of our event!
