Robbie Junk returned to Turf Paradise as the racing secretary, a post he held in 2000. Junk most recently was the racing secre- tary at Canterbury Park in Minnesota and Sunland Park in New Mexico.
Turf Paradise will offer a new Pick-6 wager, dubbed the “Grand Canyon Pick-
6.” The wager has a 20-cent minimum bet and is identical to a traditional Pick-6, except that the entire pool will be paid out only when there is a single winning ticket. Consolation payoffs will be made if more than one person hits all six or if there are no perfect tickets.
Turf Paradise general manager Vincent Francia expects the track to host 1,800 horses in its stable area.
Turf Paradise’s Quarter Horse stakes schedule is topped by the 300-yard $60,000- est. Desert Classic Futurity on April 28, 2019. On that date, the track is also sched- uled to host three Bank of America Racing Challenge regional finals, topped by the 440-yard $55,000-added Bank of America Turf Paradise Championship Challenge.

TRACK CHATTER
“Ruidoso Downs is an important part of this community, and we are excited to launch an event that we believe will become a mainstay every summer,” said Ruidoso Downs President and General Manager Jeff True, who is co- founder of RAIN DANCE with Bill Vaughan, owner of Rainmakers Resort and Club.
“This gala event represents a major addi- tion to the Ruidoso area schedule at the peak of tourist season, which will expand Ruidoso’s tourism appeal to a national audience,” Vaughan said.
LONE STAR HOSPITALITY
Lone Star Park, which concluded its Fall Quarter Horse Meet on Nov. 10, will remain open as a training center for an additional month in order to accommodate stables until the barn area at Sam Houston Race Park opens for the 2019 meet.
