Woodstock, VA — Here is a very important notice about 2025 licensing from the Virginia Racing Commission.
All horsemen who need to renew or obtain a Virginia racing license for the first time must fill out a license application — which can be accessed here — and submit it to the Racing Commission well in advance of your arrival at Shenandoah Downs. Once this form is completed, you can email it to VRCLicense@vrc.virginia.gov.
Licenses will be available to pick up at the VRC’s licensing office upon your arrival at the track this spring.
Please get this completed ASAP to ensure all participants are eligible to compete at the start of the season. If your current VRC license covers 2025, there is no need to do anything. Everyone’s cooperation in this matter is much appreciated.
The 2025 spring season in Woodstock runs from April 26-June 8 with cards scheduled every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Meet details are available at shenandoahdowns.com.
