Episode Details

Ruidoso Downs Racetrack is temporarily shutting down its main entrance due to a damaged culvert discovered after last year’s flooding — a safety hazard flagged by New Mexico DOT. General Manager Rick Baugh admits the move disrupts staff, partners, and fans, but insists public safety must come first. Engineer Jonathan Boyle’s assessment confirmed that keeping the entrance open risks further damage and danger. Live racing continues at the Downs of Albuquerque on weekends, and major sales like the New Mexico Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred Sale and the All American Select Sale are still on schedule at the Ruidoso Downs Horse Sales Pavilion.
