Just noticed they look like they're gonna have live racing starting in late May.
Nothing disparaging Crag, but the condition book looks like all the nags from down here at TP will be the main forte there. Any intel on what your takeout is going to be?

Hi Spiketoo!
I chose to leave AZD at the end of January as I am now fully involved in writing, calling races and doing TV work for National Steeplechase Association events as well as doing social media work for related entities in the steeplechasing world.
Speaking of which of May 24 and May 25, there is a huge steeplechase at Fair Hill in MD and on May 25, there will be wagering available. Anyone on Paceadvantage who would like to come out, send me a PM and I will ensure they are well taken care of.
Thanks,
Craig.

That's a pretty good get. Rrrracing.
And I didn't read this entire thread so maybe it's already been addressed. But is the opening post mistaken? Arizona Downs is having a Gulfstream Park contest tomorrow so clearly they aren't blocked from Stronach Properties right?

Best I can tell looking at their simul schedule is that they can show TSG tracks at their main plant but not at any of the offsite OTB locales.
Guess the Turf Paradise mob won that one.

I used to drive down from Goldfield and go for the full week of racing when it was four days and the saturday to tuesday format worked well, but now
only two days of weekend races according to the condition book Ill take a pass
and wont even attempt to go , will only be one season of racing anyway you can tell this will be a FLOP, you know things will be bad if Carl the truth williams - truth is he sucks , and donnie french are getting mounts as go to riders.
Dennis Collins is injured, Vince G retired and Miguel Hernandez trains in NM.
Tony Maiucci and Joe Durigon coming back to ride,and now this guy Mike Wronga calling instead of bringing back Boomer Wry?

I wish the people involved with Arizona Downs nothing but the best of luck. Having said that, it is my firm belief that the racino business model is the only one that would work at this kind of track. Since this will never happen in Arizona, I fear that success is unlikely. This is the state of the game that all of us love in 2019 as old horseplayers like me die and are replaced by young casino gamblers. It's all very sad.

Is there going to be a turf course?
It is a huge boost to have one in the 21st Century - especially in an arid or semi-arid climate, where few races would be taken off the turf.

I'd play it on the exchange for 12% commission on winning bets like I did on Turf Paradise.

Did they change anything about the track surface or dimensions or is it the same as when it was Yavapai?

I truly wish he would replace the fellow currently yelling out the play by play at TUP......Brand X

Don't confuse with PHX and TP. Prescott elevation is about 4000' above PHX. Avg summer temps are just about a few degrees above DM and SAR.
