Turf Paradise Will Not Continue Live Racing or Simulcasting Beginning October 1, 2023

​Phoenix, AZ - The owner of Turf Paradise, Jerry Simms, announced today that after 23 years of operating the race track, he is retiring to spend more time with his family. There will be no more live racing or simulcasting at the Phoenix-based race track, beginning October 1, 2023.
Turf Paradise also maintains 37 Off Track Betting sites throughout Arizona, which televise the live product and simulcasts from other race tracks across America for the purpose of wagering. In order for the OTB sites to operate, live racing is required. Since Turf Paradise will not be running a live race meet and the contract with the Arizona Horsemen Benevolent and Protective Association (AZHBPA) terminates September 30 of this year, the OTBs will have to close effective October 1.
Turf Paradise opened on January 7, 1956.
