PHOENIX, AZ—OCTOBER 21, 2021—Turf Paradise announced on Wednesday that overnight purses will get a 30-percent increase and the track's stakes program will receive a $1-million infusion.

Located in Phoenix, Arizona, Turf Paradise will open its 2021-22 season on November 5. The 125-day meet will run five days a week through May 7, 2022.

"The increases are a result of state and federal subsidies for horsemen's purses," said Turf Paradise general manager Vincent Francia.

During Turf Paradise's last meet, which ran 79 days, purses averaged $105,000 per day. The upcoming season will offer purses of $130,000 per day. Both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses will benefit from the increases.
