Wind Creek Completes Purchase Of Birmingham Racecourse

The Poarch Creek Indians (PCI) and the McGregor Family announced that Wind Creek Hospitality, the tribe’s gaming and hotel business, has completed the purchase of the Birmingham Racecourse. The initial agreement between PCI and the McGregor Family was announced on November 18, 2024. The tribe says its significant financial investment signals its long-term commitment to developing a world-class destination resort in Birmingham that will create good jobs, spur economic growth and bring significant long-term benefits to the city and region. The facility will continue to offer the parimutuel and historical horse racing games currently in operation. Wind Creek leaders will be working closely with local elected and racing officials as expansion plans are developed. During 2025, the Poarch Creek Indians expect to finalize the transfer of operations, survey the region to better understand customer demands and solidify plans to expand facilities and operations.
