That’s why Turf Paradise and the Arizona Horseman’s Benevolent and Protective Association are bringing back wallet day after more than decade. Turf Paradise is also holding five stakes races that day along with a full card of live local horse racing.
On March 11th the Phoenix racetrack and the HBPA will be giving away free wallets to the first 4,000 paid admissions. And each wallet will have betting vouchers valued between $2 and $500.
The day also includes a full card of live local horseracing including:
The $100,000 Phoenix Gold Cup
The $75,000 Arizona Oaks
The $75,000 Turf Paradise Derby
The $100,000 Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile
The $60,000 Queen Of The Green Stakes
There’s also live music and a family fun park with bounce house inflatables. Turf Paradise is committed to offering affordable family fun to the community it has served for more than six decades. General admission is just $3 and general parking is free. Gates open at 11am.
Turf Paradise has continually operated at the same location at 19th Ave and Bell since 1956. In addition to live local horseracing Turf Paradise is also home to Unibet Sports Book allowing fans to bet on their favorite sports teams.
“Free wallets are a fan favorite and bringing them back when we are having five signature stakes races helps bring the day from good to great,” said Turf Paradise General Manager Vince Francia.”
