Greyhound Racing Season in Denver
to Cease
Following June 28th Performance

Commerce City
, Colorado – June
10th, at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Colorado Racing Commission
the Commission, approval was given for withdrawal of the request by Pueblo
Greyhound Racing for dates that had been tabled during the May 13th meeting
at the behest of Commissioner Vail. The Colorado Greyhound Kennel
Association (CGKA) was unable to come to a majority agreement to provide
the necessary kennel agreements to allow the CGKA to race through September
1, 2008. Consequently, Live Greyhound Racing will not be offered in Colorado for the
remainder of the 2008 calendar year.
Mile High Racing And Entertainment will work in concert with the
Division Director of the Colorado State Racing Commission, Kennel Operators,
National Greyhound Association, American Greyhound Track Operators
Association, and associated adoption groups to relocate greyhounds to other
tracks to resume racing; return to the farm or owner for breeding or
placement in local adoption programs; or relocate to other adoption groups
for placement with families, depending on the wishes of the owners.
“Greyhound welfare is our highest priority,” said Bruce Seymore,
Director of Racing Operations. “We will work with all groups to ensure that
every dog is placed. As a result of the suspension of live racing, and per
Colorado Racing Statute, we will be unable to continue to simulcast
greyhound racing at our off-track betting locations throughout the state of
Colorado.
Our facilities will however continue to race live at Arapahoe Park
and offer the best in simulcast wagering from horse tracks throughout the
country.”

Park Information:
We continue
to simulcast world class horse racing from across the nation. Simulcast
wagering is available Wednesday through Sunday at Mile High Park;
for a complete listing please download our monthly Horse Simulcast Schedule. Please note this schedule
is subject to change without notice. To confirm simulcasting for the day,
please call our general offices at (303) 288-1591.
Wagering on greyhounds 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
and terminology guides.
For general inquiries, please fill out our inquiry form.
