The Iowa Greyhound Park in Dubuque is hoping for one last season in 2022, the Telegraph Herald reports. Plans call for it to be shortened, lasting just a month or two, compared with 112 days of racing this year, said Brian Carpenter, the park’s general manager and director of racing. But he conceded that even that may not be feasible.
