Gary Miller continues to seek financing so he can open the defunct Yavapai Downs horse racetrack in Prescott Valley that he purchased through the bankruptcy court in February.
He already reopened the neighboring car racetrack, and hopes to re-open the events center this fall.
Miller had hoped this spring that he might open the horse track this month for a short season, but he still hasn’t got the financing.
The opening has been delayed until next year at the earliest, he said. He now hopes to open on Memorial Day weekend, the weekend the track traditionally opened each year for the summer after the winter season at Turf Paradise in Phoenix.
The site won’t host the Yavapai County Fair this fall either, he said. He hopes to do that next year as well. The fair will take place this year at Tim’s Toyota Center in PV, where it has been held for the last two years.
