RUIDOSO DOWNS, N.M - It was the biggest season,
by far, in Ruidoso Downs history.
The daily wagering average for the 63-day meeting
soared up to $317,538 which was a thumping gain of 15.4
per cent over last year’s average of $275,157.
The current daily average set a new record. Total
wagering for-the season was $20,004,876. This was a gain
of 13.6 per cent over last year’s record meeting which
produced $17,610,086 with 64 race days.
Average-betting-per-race hit $25,947 which was up 16.25
per cent over last season’s comparable figure of $22,319.
The season-closing Labor Day meeting reflected a
handle of $825,285, highest in Ruidoso history. The
previous high of $791,517 was established on Labor Day
a year ago. 1
Another new record went into the books when the
Iabor Day crowd wagered $172,420 on the All-American
Futurity. This was the highest one-race handle in the
history of New Mexico racing. The previous mark was
the $154,644 wagered on the ’73 All-American Futurity.
The total attendance for the meeting was 329,300, an
average of 5,227. Last year, 328,102 fans turned out,
averaging 5,127 per day. The current figure is a gain of
1.95 per cent.
