Summary
Ruidoso Downs Racetrack and Casino is shutting down temporarily due to a damaged culvert from last year’s floods, making it unsafe for public access—especially with more rain on the horizon. The casino and simulcast operations are closed until further notice, pending approval from the New Mexico Gaming Control Board, with an emergency meeting set for July 22nd in Albuquerque. This isn’t the first time flooding has disrupted operations—previous meets were moved to Albuquerque, and the 2026 season is already planned there. Horse sales continue at Ruidoso, including key events in August and September, but casino-goers and simulcast fans must visit before July 18th to cash out vouchers—or mail them to PO Box 449, Ruidoso Downs, NM 88346, for processing within 60 days.
