Arurora, Colorado –
Arapahoe Park Releases 2008 Races Dates and Stakes Schedule, Tabs Slagle as New Racing Secretary
Aurora, Colorado – Officials at Mile High Racing & Entertainment have officially announced the live race dates and stakes schedules for the upcoming 2008 meet at Arapahoe Park. In addition, officials confirmed the hiring of Stuart Slagle as the Racing Secretary for the upcoming season. A total of thirty-six dates (36) has been scheduled for the 2008 meeting. The 2008 mixed meet will begin with three consecutive races days over the Memorial Day Weekend (Saturday May 24 – Monday May 26). Racing will be conducted on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the season which ends on Sunday August 10th. The Memorial Day (Monday May 26) program is the only exception to the schedule. Post time daily is at 1:00 pm mt. (Final Arapahoe Park 2008 race dates are subject to formal approval by the Colorado State Racing Commission at its May 2008 monthly meeting.)
“Our 2008 closely mirrors that of 2007, except we race Fridays instead of Mondays,” said Director of Racing/Plant Manager, Bill Powers. “The early start date of Memorial Day weekend worked well for us last year that we decided to do it again in 2008. We did a pretty good job of getting fans to the track last season (a 13.7% increase in attendance in 2007) despite four less live dates. We are going to build on that this year and we hope to kick start our weekends off on Friday afternoons. One of our main goals this year is to get those folks to return in 2008 and to learn to play our game. We are working on some things that will have people thinking about Friday afternoons at Arapahoe Park as the start of their weekend.” |

Park Information
Racing
results are updated and posted daily during the live racing season.
Wagering on horses involves the pari-mutuel system of wagering. This term, from
the French term "parier mutuel" literally means "betting among
ourselves". Unlike casino gambling, you are not betting against the
house, but are betting against everyone else. The track simply acts as an
agent for all betting transactions and takes out a specified percentage for
this service.
For more information on horse wagering, please see download our betting, how to read a
horse program and terminology guides.
