Canterbury Park Holding Corp
Canterbury Park Holding Corp. owns and operates the Canterbury Park Racetrack and Casino in Shakopee, Minnesota, about 20 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. The company’s business is organized around four segments: horse racing, casino gaming, food and beverage, and real estate development. Its core operating asset is the racetrack and casino complex, where it hosts live and simulcast pari-mutuel wagering, unbanked card games, concessions, catering, and special events. In parallel, it is developing land around the property through real estate and joint ventures, which adds a longer-term monetization layer to the racetrack site. The company has also stated a five-year strategic plan focused on growing casino revenue and evaluating additional opportunities to diversify the business.
