boomer was a good track announcer, then he had
something go amiss with management.
From flag fall to last call.

When Boomer left was the beginning of the end for yavapai.

Yavapai Downs is Prescott Downs. The track changed its name.

And no one would ever call Turf Paradise "a real gem" - except maybe Bernard Rome, if you remember who he was!

Well, no, it's a different plant in a different location altogether.

I'll call Turf Paradise a gem. It kinda looks like shit right now, but it can be one of the most beautiful places there ever was or will be when it all comes together just right.

And as wisconsin mentioned, Prescott and Yavapai are completely different facilities.

Not sure if your post was literal but they are like 10 miles apart...not even in the same technical city (Prescott versus Prescott Valley).

45 mins south east to yavapai dump.

Hi People!

I will be on hand for opening weekend at the new Arizona Downs - welcoming people, old friends and new, hopefully assisting some new players along the way. I am also one of the admins on the Facebook page and am really looking forward to this.

Tom Auther and his organization together with GM Ann McGovern have been working tremendously hard and work continues to renovate the grandstand. I was there on July 4 and work was still going on.

The facility has always had the potential to be a lot more than it was and there is now a winning team in place. The opening of our first OTB is very exciting and we look forward again to becoming part of the Tri-City community.

If you are coming by on Friday or Saturday, please stop and say "Hello!"

Regards.

Best of luck, I agree the potential was more than they were getting out of it.

Prescott can be very nice during the summer, though a tad hot.

Very tough for me to bet on any Arizona races, the takeout rates are the highest in the country.

You’ve paid some serious dues, Craig. Much respect from me and best of luck on the meet.

Rebates!

It will great to see Yavapai racing again. The old management team invited the Horseplayers Association of N. A. there to have a meeting about what might be done to save the track from closing. They gave it a good shot, but I assume the cost of running the plant were too great.

The same summer I visited Yavapai I also visited and spoke with some of the people running KY Downs. That is a great racetrack. Probably my favorite track in N.A. from an aesthetic point of view.

It's good to see KY Downs involved. It looks like they have some good people involved. I hope they can make it work.
