SunRay Park History
Back in 1984 the track opened on this site as San Juan Downs but, due to the business failing closed its doors as quickly as 1993. Like other parts of the country though, legislation allowing tracks to become racinos meant that racing right across New Mexico was given a new boost and so by 1999 the track reopened as SunRay Park.The facility now contains over 500 slots as well as the track itself meaning it is now self-sufficient as a business and can attract good quality horses from across New Mexico and the Intermountain region.
