The $75,000 Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile will be the featured race Saturday as Turf Paradise celebrates its 62nd birthday.
Named after the late Phoenix Suns’ coach, who was also an avid horseplayer, the Fitzsimmons Mile (turf) attracted a field of 11, headed by three ship-ins: California’s Dressed in Hermes, New York’s Inside Straight and Canadian-based Born in a Breeze.
Turf Paradise first opened January 7, 1956.
