Yavapai Downs

Yavapai Downs is a horse racing track in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The track hosts both thoroughbred and quarter horse racing. It announced it would not be running a 2011 season but hoped to have live racing again in 2012.

In 2013, Gary Miller of Scottsdale purchased the property for $5.5 Million, after an earlier bid of $3.25 Million was rejected by the USDA. The newly-renamed PV Speedway opened for the 2014 season, but the Yavapai Downs horse racing track never resumed operation. In mid-2014, Miller put the property back up for sale for an asking price of $7.45 Million. His attempts to sell were unsuccessful, and in March 2015 Miller filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and all operations at the property ceased. The status of the property at this time is unknown, and the facilities are sitting abandoned.
