Live racing returns to Turf Paradise on Monday. Following successful track inspections conducted by the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, the Arizona Racing Commission notified Turf Paradise that all live racing surfaces meet standards.
Gates will open at noon EST, and the first post time for live racing will be 2:40 p.m.
The two stakes races that had been scheduled for Nov. 2 were rescheduled. The $40,000 Jeff and Jack Coady Sr. Handicap will be run on Wednesday, and the $40,000 Hank Mills Jr. Handicap will be run on Thursday.
The season will run through May 3. This year’s schedule includes Saturday racing, including the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Turf Paradise general manager Vince Francia said, “Thanks to our horsemen and the AzHBPA for helping us establish the new season. Our track maintenance crews did stellar work. We are excited to bring our fans another great season of racing.”
