Sam Houston Race Park will kick off its 2022 live racing season Jan. 6 with an expanded 50-day Thoroughbred meet that concludes April 9.  The dates were approved by the Texas Racing Commission July 27.

Sam Houston Race Park was granted 46 Thoroughbred days in 2021 and had one of the most successful seasons since it opened in 1994 as the first Class 1 racetrack in Texas. One of the major highlights was its $5.3 million handle for the annual Houston Racing Festival. Houston Ladies Classic (G3) winner St. George Stable's Letruska continues to deny her rivals in graded stakes competition across the United States. She currently tops the NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll, a weekly salute to the ten leading Thoroughbreds in North America.

Sam Houston Race Park also received approval for their annual Quarter Horse racing season. The 25-day meet will begin April 22 and continue through June 18. 

"We are pleased that we have approval for next year's live racing schedule," said Dwight Berube, Sam Houston Race Park's general manager. "We are in the midst of planning for 2022 and look to build on the momentum that we were able to achieve this year."

Further information on purses, stakes schedule, stall applications, training hours, and condition books will be forthcoming.
