Sam Houston Race Park Requests Dates For 2021 Season

HOUSTON, TX—SEPTEMBER 19, 2020—Sam Houston Race Park asked for 23 Quarter Horse race days in its recent request to the Texas Racing Commission for 2021 live racing dates.

The number of Quarter Horse days is identical to their 2020 request. If approved, Quarter Horses would race from April 23 to June 12.

The track is also seeking 46 Thoroughbred dates, up from this 2020's 39 live days from Jan. 8 through April 3.

Major revisions include adding 12 Thursday dates, dropping all three Tuesday programs that were part of the 2020 schedule and reducing Wednesday racing from 11 dates to seven.

The track has not announced its 2021 stakes schedule. The Texas Racing Commission usually approves dates as submitted.
