Major quarter horse racing series moves to Lone Star Park in 2027

Summary

The quarter horse Triple Crown series and associated events will relocate to Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas, starting in 2027. Owners of Ruidoso Downs finalized a tentative agreement with Global Gaming Solutions to move the annual racing fixtures, including the Ruidoso Futurity, Rainbow Futurity, and All-American Futurity. The transfer includes the All-American Super Select Sale and the Ruidoso Downs Hall of Fame. These races, which debuted in 1959, have recently faced scheduling disruptions due to flood damage and fire impacts at the New Mexico facility. The series was temporarily hosted at the New Mexico State Fair in Albuquerque in 2025 and 2026. Management cited the need to protect the long-term future and legacy of the events as the primary driver for the relocation to the Texas venue.
