Sam Houston: Extended Meet Produces 28 Percent Average Handle Increase Sponsored by:
Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas
The Sam Houston Race Park closed the curtain on a highly successful Thoroughbred live racing season on Saturday, April 3. The 43-day meet, which began on Jan. 8, was one of the best since the northwest Houston racetrack opened in 1994.
A total of $12.6 million in purses were offered for the 2021 Thoroughbred racing season supplemented by House Bill 2463. Passed by the 86th Texas Legislature on September 1, 2019, the bill contributes $25 million annually to the Texas horse racing industry, split equally between Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse interests. Sam Houston Race Park set a very lucrative $2.4 million stakes schedule, up from $1.8 million in 2020.
