ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Kentucky Derby watch parties were in full swing at horse racing tracks across the state.
At the Ruidoso Downs Race Track and Casino, a few hundred fans came out to watch the race. So exciting to be back and to have the public. That s what we really missed last year was the public. It s fun to have the races, but until you see the fans in the stands yelling and screaming for their horse to finish first, that s what we really missed last year, said Tim Keithly, marketing director for the Ruidoso Downs.
