The saddest part of Arizona Horse racing is are bordering state New Mexico is flourishing with many tracks . Yet we are relegated to Turf Paradise? A run down building with no upside. Once again please explain to me who is going to want to race for non inflated purses in 100 degree weather and monsoons .
Not sure 100 degrees would be the norm in the summer.

I think its a good question. With the indian casinos controlling gambling in the state, even likely in the near future when gambling becomes legal everywhere, its hard to envision this is a move with that in mind.

Racing should be able to flourish here, there is perfect near year round weather between the valley and mountain tracks. The demographics should support it. But with the takeout rates the highest in the country there is no reason for anyone to play these tracks.
