3-Feb-06. Final furlong for city track. Calgary Sun, 24.

Stampede race track in Calgary will lose its horse racing licence once a new facility located near the town of Balzac opens. The new track has been granted the right to operate the only horse racing venue in the Calgary area. The proposed facility is anticipated to be open in the fall of 2007 and will include a Las Vegas-style casino and entertainment and shopping areas.
