AT LEAST TWO GROUPS IN NEW MEXICO WILL BE SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS TO RUN THE STATE’S SIXTH RACETRACK AND CASINO. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS BOTH GROUPS ARE IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO.
ONE WOULD PUT THE “RACINO” IN CLOVIS, THE OTHER IN TUCUMCARI. THE TUCUMCARI FACILITY WOULD BE BUILT BY INTERSTATE 40 NEAR THE TEXAS BORDER. A DECISION IS EXPECTED FROM THE STATE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
