The live racing season will run from June 6th to September 12th with a total of 53 programs and over $2 million in the projected purse pool. Running Aces features outstanding barns and a highly-acclaimed five-eighths mile track about 25 miles north of the Twin Cities.

 

The barn area will open on May 27th with a qualifying session scheduled for May 30th at noon. Tentative conditiion sheets for opening week are currently available on both the USTA and track websites.

 

Applicants are asked to be as specific as possible about the horses they have available to bring to Minnesota for the summer. "With limited stalls available, we need to fill them with race-ready qualified horses," explained Director of Racing Gregg Keidel. "I expect our eighth year will be alot like the first seven, an exciting season of racing in a wonderful summer setting."
