THE HORSES ARE OFF AND RUNNING AGAIN AT LONE STAR PARK AT GRAND PRAIRIE, STAR EIGHT.
IT'S OPENING WEEKEND AND THE 28TH SEASON AT THE PREMIER HORSE RACING FACILITY IN TEXAS.
BRINGING MANY OF THE TOP HORSES, JOCKEYS OWNERS AND TRAINERS TO THE TRACK TO COMPETE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PRIZE MONEY OVER THE 73 RACING DATES SCHEDULED FOR 2025.
AND THAT WILL ALSO MEAN THOUSANDS OF FANS, WHO FOR NEARLY THREE DECADES HAVE CONTINUED TO FLOCK TO THE PLACE THAT STARTED IT ALL.
AS FAR AS PUTTING GRAND PRAIRIE ON THE MAP AS AN ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATION, ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE LIKE TO DO IS CREATE WINNING EXPERIENCES FOR ALL OF OUR GUESTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE ARE OUT HERE, WE WANT 'EM TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, BUT THERE'S NOT MANY PLACES THAT YOU CAN PAY $10 FOR GENERAL MISSION AND GET WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE ATHLETES RIGHT HERE AT LONE STAR PARK.
YOU CAN WALK RIGHT UP TO THE RAIL.
SEE THE HORSES UP CLOSE IN PERSON.
BECAUSE NO MATTER THEIR AGE OR WHETHER THEY ARE FIRST TIMERS, LONGTIME VETERANS, OR VISITORS FROM A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY, THE FASCINATION, EXHILARATION, AND NOVELTY THAT THE PEOPLE AND PONIES AT LONE STAR PARK CAN PROVIDE NEVER SEEMS TO GET OLD.
MEANS A SPECIAL PLACE TO MY HEART.
THIS IS WHERE I'M AT, MOST OF THESE PEOPLE, SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE OUT HERE CELEBRATING TODAY.
UH, IT'S JUST LIKE A REAL FAMILY FRIENDLY AREA.
THE FOOD IS GOOD, HUH? YEAH, IT IS GOOD.
UH, AND THE PEOPLE IS, UH, FRIENDLY.
THE 2025 THOROUGHBRED SEASON AT LONE STAR PARK CONTINUES EVERY WEEKEND THROUGH JULY 13TH.
