Capitol leases Idaho track

 Return Home
January 06, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

According to reports, Capitol Racing has reached an agreement to purchase the operating lease for Les Boise Park in Idaho. The track is located in Ada County, with the county owning the track and the surrounding Western Idaho Fairgrounds.



The county commissioners had a previous lease agreement with Lariat Productions, but in December had asked a judge to let them evict them, citing violations in the lease agreement, which will expire in 2009. The commissoners claimed Lariat let the facilities fall into disrepair. Another charge was that Lariat sold alcohol to a minor and failed to lock up unsealed liquor bottles. There were also complaints of unpaid and bounced purse checks.



Capitol Racing, which runs the Standardbred meet at Cal Expo in California, must still receive racing commission approval for a new live and simulcast license. There was no word if plans call for harness or Thoroughbred racing.
