Arizona Downs Ends Meet Early, Cites 'Uncertainty' Over Access to Off-Track Betting Feeds as Cause

A disagreement over signal rights for off-track betting (OTB) parlors has led to Arizona Downs to cut its racing meet short. Officials at the Prescott Valley track announced on Friday that this weekend would be the final days of racing in 2019. The track, where racing resumed in May after a nine-year absence, was initially scheduled to hold races through Labor Day.
