albuquerque: Albuquerque Downs Offers Exciting Night Racing!

Albuquerque Downs racing season is in full swing! I was fortunate enough a few weeks ago to be able to attend the opening evening of horse racing at Albuquerque Downs.

And racing has become even more exciting since last year, when the Downs was completely remodeled, and added lighting to allow "racing under the stars." If you weren't able to be there for the season's opening, don't despair! The racing season at the Downs continues untile September 24th, with night racing on Wednesdays, Fridays, … (2 comments)
