Canterbury Park Minnesota FundThe Canterbury Park Minnesota Fund (CPMF) originated in 2003 to unite Canterbury Park and our employees in a common goal to provide assistance for charities benefiting equine organizations, responsible gaming programs and local causes.
The CPMF has grown into a successful grant program, awarding $963,500 in grants to Minnesota organizations since its inception. Recipients in 2016 included: American Cancer Society, Minnesota Special Olympics, Freedom Farm, Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation, Majestic Hills, Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, Northstar Problem Gambling Alliance, Project Turnabout, Second Chance Ranch, United States Pony Club, Shakopee Community Assistance, Scott County Historical Society, Esperanza and Loaves and Fishes.

Heard and Seen at Canterbury Park
Brian Arrigoni begins his second season as paddock analyst and handicapper. Born and raised in St. Paul,
Brian has loved horse racing since he was very young when he began attending the races at Canterbury with his family. He attended Hamline University where he was an All-American hockey player and graduated with degrees in Criminal Justice and Political Science. Although Brian grew up playing hockey, his heart was always at the track, and his passion only continued to grow as he got older. Last year, that passion turned into a profession when the local longshot won a competition for Canterbury Park’s Paddock Analyst. As a handicapper, he excels in the challenges of multi-race wagers such as the pick 4 and pick 5. Brian has a desire to educate fans and freely shares his racing opinions both on camera and through social media. Follow his selections daily on Twitter: @MrB_CBYanalyst
The voice of Canterbury Park since 1995, “PA” is well known throughout the Twin
Cities as the radio voice of the Minnesota Vikings and as the host of a radio show heard weekdays from 9:00 a.m. - noon on KFAN. Paul was well known throughout the California circuit, having worked as the race caller at Bay Meadows from 1993-1998. In addition to his race calling duties, Paul can be seen as part of the “Today at the Races” show before most race cards at Canterbury Park. Born in Maryland, Paul was elected into the Canterbury Park Hall of Fame in the summer of 2007.

Canterbury Park Milestones
1982Voters approve an amendment allowing pari-mutuel wagering.
Ground is broken for Minnesota’s first and only pari-mutuel racetrack. The name Canterbury Downs is chosen by a drawing in which more than 1,000 Minnesotans submit names.
1984
1985Canterbury Downs opens on June 26th. A crowd of 15,079 is joined by Governor Perpich to celebrate the first day of pari-mutuel racing in Minnesota. English-bred Faiz, fittingly sired by Canterbury Road, wins the first race. Wagering on the nine-race card totals $867,627.
1986The inaugural running of the $300,000 St. Paul Derby attracts a record crowd of 23,351 patrons who wager more than $2 million dollars on the race card for the first time in track history. Canterbury Downs enjoys its peak year - almost $135 million is wagered with the state gaining more than $7 million dollars for the general fund.
1987The Minnesota Legislature refuses to grant tax relief to the state’s horse racing industry, leading Canterbury Downs to drastically reduce the purse structure for the season. As a result, attendance drops by more than 26% on the season and wagering decreases by nearly 17%.
1988Minnesota lawmakers enact legislation significantly reducing the pari-mutuel tax paid by Canterbury Downs. By law, the money saved is funneled into the purse structure. Average daily handle and per capita wagering rebound from the previous year’s falloff, but attendance continues to decline.
1990Ladbroke Racing Corporation purchases Canterbury Downs, but the track continues to struggle. The influx of casino gaming and pull-tabs in Minnesota create competition for the gaming dollar.
1991The Minnesota Legislature passes off-track betting, but the Minnesota Supreme Court strikes its passage down as unconstitutional.
Canterbury Downs closes the doors after a disastrous live racing season that saw average attendance drop to under 2,900 patrons daily. The average daily handle is half the previous season.
1992
1993Twin Cities financier Irwin Jacobs agrees to purchase Canterbury Downs. The transaction is completed in early 1994. Three months later, Jacobs sells the track to Curtis and Randy Sampson and Dale Schenian.
1994Canterbury Park Holding Corporation puts together an initial public offering, which raises $8 million, making Canterbury Park one of the few publicly held race tracks in the country. For the first time, Canterbury Park is virtually debt free. At right, Canterbury Park joins the American Stock Exchange in 2002. Canterbury Park is currently traded under the ticker symbol CPHC on the NASDAQ, a move that took place in August of 2008.
Page 10
1995Live racing returns to Minnesota. More than 306,000 visitors come through the turnstiles, wagering more than $66.5 million dollars. Canterbury Park sends its races out of state via satellite on a regular basis for the first time.
1997Senator Dick Day (R - Owatonna) introduces legislation that would permit casino-style slot machines at Canterbury Park. Throughout months of spirited debate, public opinion polls support slots at Canterbury Park, but opposition from legislators and special interest groups prevail.
1998Canterbury Park announces it has turned a profit for a second consecutive year, and the Legislature and Governor Arne Carlson approve permanent legislation, which exempts the first $12 million of pari-mutuel revenue from the 6% pari-mutuel tax. The bills also permits Canterbury Park to retain uncashed winning tickets. Also, for the first time since inception in 1985, Canterbury shows a profit for the period which includes the live racing meet. Attendance and overall handle are up four percent over the previous year.
1999The inaugural Claiming Crown is held at Canterbury Park producing a record handle and attendance. The day receives a tremendous response from fans and produces an attendance figure of 11,380, a record for Canterbury Park at that time.
2000The Minnesota Racing Commission unanimously approves the operating plan for the new Canterbury Card Club, which had earlier passed the Minnesota Legislature. The Card Club will offer wagering on unbanked card games. Card Club construction begins on the first floor of the grandstand. A significant portion of the Card Club’s revenues is dedicated to horse racing purses and the Minnesota Breeders’ Fund. The Card Club opens in April and its impact is felt almost immediately during the 2000 live racing season with a pair of 10% purse increases, sending total purses paid up by 26.6% over the previous year.
2001Canterbury Park is chosen by Forbes Magazine as one of the 2000 Best Small Companies in America. The stringent criteria include revenue and earnings per share growth of 5% or greater over a four year time period. Canterbury Park is also named one of the top 50 companies in Minnesota based on similar criteria.
2002Two-time defending riding champion Derek Bell sets a Canterbury record when he rides The Hot Corner to victory in the evening’s first Quarter Horse race. The victory was Bell’s sixth on the card, setting the mark for the most victories in one racing day.
Canterbury Park Holding Corporation announced plans for a multi-purpose entertainment and gaming complex on its existing 367-acre site in Shakopee. The development proposal, termed the Racino at Canterbury Park, would combine existing entertainment options, with a new series of offerings, including slot and video gaming, an Olympic horse park, an agricultural event facility, a first-class hotel, and a conference center.
Page 11
The Minnesota Legislature adjourns without taking action on Canterbury Park’s Racino Bill. The bill passed the House of Representatives but failed to get out of committee in the Senate.
Canterbury Park is named to Fortune’s Small Business list of America’s Fastest Growing Small Companies. Landing at #19 on the list of 100 businesses, Canterbury is one of only three gaming operations to be honored.
2003
Canterbury Park begins the celebration of 10 years of racing under the current ownership by unveiling a $1.5 million dollar renovation of the clubhouse and simulcast area. The upgrade reflects the changing needs of simulcast players by modernizing both the viewing and wagering areas, refining the food service, and turning the third floor into one of the most luxurious clubhouses in the country.
2004
2005Canterbury Park invests in backside improvements including a $500,000 equine aquatic exercise facility and over $300,000 in upgrades to the training track. Following a partial government shutdown in July, the special session of the Minnesota Legislature adjourned without taking final action on the company’s proposed Racino legislation, which would authorize electronic gaming devices to be operated by the Minnesota Lottery at Canterbury Park.
2006Opening day of the 2006 race meet, Saturday, May 6, set a record for attendance and total on-track handle. With nine live races and full card simulcasting including the Kentucky Derby, a crowd of 17,111 wagered $1,925,997.
On July 3 Canterbury presented its first ever Fireworks Spectacular following that evening’s racing program. Attendance reached 11,872. Live music on the track apron preceded the fireworks display.
The live racing season produced a new Canterbury Park record attendance figure of 18,230, set on opening day. Unfortunately, the meet suffers from declines similar to those seen across the industry. For the first time since 1997 at Canterbury Park, the average attendance failed to increase compared to the previous season. Overall, attendance decreased by 1.6% and on-track handle declined by 8.6% as compared to 2007.
2008
2007The inaugural Extreme Race Day on Sunday, July 22 was highlighted by the “Battle of the Surfaces” which featured horses competing on the turf and dirt simultaneously in a single pari-mutuel event. This was the first race of its type in North America. The day also included ostrich and camel racing and attracted a crowd of 16,259.Legislation prohibiting smoking in public places takes effect on October 1 making Canterbury the only non-smoking gaming venue in the state.
The Minnesota Racing Commission granted racing dates to Running Aces Harness Park in Columbus Township in the northern metro, allowing for a 53-day harness meet beginning in April 2008, and subsequently, a card club operation.
The 2009 live racing season saw downturns in handle consistent with industry-wide trends. Average daily handle declined 16.8%. Attendance rebounded and once again became a bright spot as the daily average reached 5,481, a new Canterbury Park record.
Trainer Mac Robertson won his fifth consecutive thoroughbred training title, notching 75 wins and $1,049,254 in earnings. Robertson capped the meet with four victories on Minnesota Festival of Champions Day. Dean Butler won his first Canterbury thoroughbred riding title with 72 wins.
The 11th Claiming Crown was a success by many measures. Both handle and attendance increased by 11% compared to the previous year. The jockey colony assembled for Claiming Crown was arguably the strongest anywhere in the country on that day. The sport’s all-time winningest rider Russell Baze had two Claiming Crown victories. Julien Leparoux, second in the country in purse money earned by a rider in 2009, also had a win. Leparoux finished fourth in the Claiming Crown Jewel aboard Furthest Land That duo went on to win the $1,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.
2009

Canterbury celebrated its 25th anniversary season in 20120. Mac Robertson won his sixth consecutive thoroughbred training title while Dean Butler won his second riding title. Edward Ross Hardy continued his dominance with Quarter Horses, capturing his ninth consecutive training title. Ry Eikleberry was leading Quarter Horse jockey. For the second consecutive year, a daily average attendance record was set. Canterbury again hosted Claiming Crown; the 10th time in 12 years that the event has been held at the Shakopee oval.
2010
In 2011, the Minnesota State Government Shutdown forced Canterbury Park to cease live racing, simulcast and card casino operations from July 1 - July 20, costing the Company an estimated $2 million in revenue. Additionally, the legislature adjourned without taking final action on the Racino proposal.
Even though Canterbury was required to cancel or reschedule 12 live racing days as a result of the Shutdown, the Company recorded a new average attendance record of 6,143 race fans per day.

On June 4, 2012 Canterbury Park and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community announced a 10-year cooperative marketing and purse enhancement agreement that will inject $75 million into the horsemen’s purse fund. The agreement also includes annual payments to Canterbury Park totaling $8.5 million over the 10 years that will be used for joint marketing efforts between the two properties. Purses in 2012 increased by nearly 35% compared to 2011 levels.
Canterbury unveiled a $1.5 million tote board for the 2013 race season, the longest since 2006, with 69 days and 645 races. The fully digital board was financed through the joint marketing agreement with SMSC. The stable area’s 1,600 stalls were filled for the first time since 1991. Daily average out-of-state handle increased by 31.8 percent and total daily average handle was a record $546,532. A record $12.5 million in purses were distributed.
Canterbury Park opened its 30,000 square foot Expo Center, making the property the fourth largest exhibit space in the Twin Cities. Construction began on a $1 million remodel of the south end of clubhouse level.
In 2015, a record $14.1 million in purses were paid during the 70-day race meet, the longest in Canterbury Park history. The racing product continued to gain in popularity nationally. Out-of-state handle increased by 16.1 percent. The newly remodeled Triple Crown Club opened in early 2015, offering enhanced amenities for both live racing and simulcast. Long-time racing secretary Doug Schoepf retired and was succeeded by Robert Junk.

Secret Someone - 2016 Lady Canterbury Stakes Champion
Page 26
The Lady Canterbury StakesPart of the ongoing story of any racetrack is its historic races, often named in commemoration of founding fathers, famous horses or grand contributors to the game. Many of those races have storied pasts and memorable results. Such is the legacy of the Lady Canterbury, the first turf race ever run at Canterbury.
The inaugural Lady Canterbury was run in 1986 and twice later as a Grade III event, a race with winners whose names roll off the tongue like a Sunday litany: to name a few - Paulson & Summa Stables’ Sauna, Nature’s Way, Maktoum al Maktoum’s Balbonella, Down Again, Fieldy and Falls Amiss, in addition to Go Go Jack in a track record breaking performance, local longshot K Z Bay, Ruthville in 2012, owned by Kentucky royalty Arthur B. Hancock III and Awesome Flower, twice, for owners Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey.
The Lady Canterbury was the first race ever conducted on the Canterbury turf course. The $100,000 race, at one mile on the turf, will be run for the 25th time June 18.
