Its beauty has been well documented with aesthetics second to none.
The main track is 1 1/8 miles in circumference and the turf course is seven furlongs. The turf course is 170 feet wide, which allows the inner rail to be moved in and out, thereby reducing wear and tear, which in turn allows for more turf races to be carded. Highlights will again be the $1 million Florida Derby (won in 2006 by America's Horse, Barbaro), the $3.6 million Sunshine Millions series, the $500,00 Donn Handicap, the Gulfstream Park Breeders' Cup Turf, the Fountain of Youth and Holy Bull stakes and the Gulfstream Park, Pan Am and Orchid handicaps. The Sunshine Millions program, inaugurated in 2003, has been a hit with horsemen as well as fans. This innovative eight-race series is restricted to horses bred in California and Florida: On a rotating basis, four races are run at Gulfstream Park and four races are run at Santa Anita, Gulfstream Park's sister track in the family of tracks owned by Magna Entertainment Corp. The Millions, the brainchild of MEC chairman Frank Stronach, are worth a total of $3.6 million. Past winners include the popular Lost in the Fog as well as Musique Toujours, Secret Request and Red Warrior, each of whom paid winning mutuels of nearly/or more than $100.

ABOUT SUNLAND
About Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino
Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino opened its doors in 1959 as just a racetrack. In the 90's, horse racing around the nation was a declining industry, so New Mexico designed legislation allowing racetracks to incorporate slot machines into their business as an effort to save New Mexico horse racing. Twenty six percent of Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino's revenue goes to taxes, which in turn go to New Mexico's general fund. An additional twenty percent of revenue goes towards the horseman's account. All monies in the horseman's account contributes to horse racing purses at Sunland Park and has had a profound effect on the quality of our live race meet.
