This decision comes after the facility announced its closure on July 16 due to a culvert damaged by flooding. Ruidoso's Mayor, Lynn D. Crawford, is advocating to keep the racetrack's license for future horse racing and casino activities, as the venue is a significant attraction, especially with events like the All-American Futurity, which has been moved to Albuquerque this year.
