Rumors are flying but only today, for the first time, my Commission colleagues and I saw something in writing from Capitol Racing about their intention not to run live horse racing this year at Les Bois Park, an Ada County facility at the fairgrounds.
We are waiting to hear when Capitol will vacate the premises and, once that date is finalized, will put out a Request for Proposals from potential operators to lease the facility from Ada County for a two-year period. Anything and everything else you hear, or have heard, is likely just hearsay and speculation.
