Wind Creek Hospitality is acquiring the Birmingham Racecourse for an undisclosed amount.
Owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, Atmore-based Wind Creek has purchased the track and its holdings from its longtime owners, the McGregor family, with the sale expected to be finalized early in 2025.
Wind Creek said in a release Monday that it will transform the track “into a premier entertainment destination in the Southeast and will continue to offer parimutuel and historical horse racing games currently in operation.”
The deal signals a new direction for a venue that began with great fanfare nearly 40 years ago but which struggled at times to realize its potential.
