Save Arizona Horse Racing


Save Arizona Horse Racing
The Issue
Horse racing has been a key economic driver in Arizona for decades – creating thousands of jobs, supporting hundreds of local businesses and generating millions of dollars in state and local tax revenues.
Now, horse racing needs our help.
Since 2004, Arizona horse tracks have seen:
· Parimutuel handles drop $55M a year
· Purses drop $5M a year
· Live race attendance drop 45%
Senate Bill 1794 will support Arizona horse racing and:
· Generate more than $100M million in new state tax revenues
· Create nearly 4,000 new jobs
· Lead to $300M in capital investments, including installation of a new turf course at Arizona Downs
· Increase purses from $80,000 to $300,000, attracting horses and revenues from California
Let our State Legislators know that you want them to vote "YES" on Senate Bill 1794 to save Arizona horse racing and support the hundreds of small agri-businesses that support the industry.
