TURF PARADISE
RACECOURSE |
|
| The Turf Paradise racecourse can be found in
Phoenix in the state of Arizona and its first meeting was held on 7th January 1956. |
| |
Its first founder was Walter Cruz who remained at the helm
for 15 years. |
|
| By 1980 the track was increased in size when
chutes were added and an additional turf course developed. Herb Owens took over the
running of the course and remained in place until 1989 when he was replaced by Robert
Walker. |
| |
The principal races are the Group 2 Quarter Horse Derby and
the Group 3 Futurity. |
