The document provides information about Dark Star, a media personality who worked at Canterbury Park racetrack. It discusses his career in radio and newspapers covering horse racing in Minnesota. It also notes that he was inducted into the Canterbury Park Hall of Fame and was instrumental in the success of racing at the track. The document is Canterbury Park's 2013 media guide.
2. Dark Star first became involved with Canterbury Park when he went to
WCCO Radio in 1986 to file reports from Canterbury. His dabbling
in the ponies dates back to his childhood attendance at county fair races
with his grandfather. Dark moved to the Twin Cities in 1980, worked as a
substitute host at KSTP, then handicapped horses for the St. Paul Pioneer
Press and Minneapolis Star Tribune, and subsequently became the host
of WCCO’s Sports Night with Dark Star. He was a true ambassador for
racing in Minnesota and was instrumental in the success of Canterbury
Park. Dark Star is a member of the Canterbury Park Hall of Fame.

Canterbury Park Milestones
1982
Voters 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
1985
Canterbury 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.
1986
The 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.
1991
TheMinnesotaLegislaturepassesoff-trackbetting,buttheMinnesota
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
1993
Twin 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.
1994
Canterbury Park Holding
Corporationputstogetheran
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.
11. Page 11
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.
2000
The 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.
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
thecurrentownershipbyunveilinga$1.5milliondollarrenovationof
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
2005
Canterbury 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.
12. Page 12
2006
Opening 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
followingthatevening’sracingprogram.Attendancereached11,872.
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
$2millioninrevenue.Additionally,thelegislatureadjournedwithout
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

$100,000 Shakopee Juvenile Stakes
2-Year-Olds --Seven and One Half Furlongs -- Turf Course
This is first running of the Shakopee Juvenile Stakes and the first
2-year-old thoroughbred stakes, other than those restricted to
Minnesota breds, since the 2011 Barenscheer Stakes. Unlike the
Barenscheer and its predecessor, the Canterbury Juvenile, which were
main track sprints, the Shakopee Juvenile will be run around two-turns
on the turf course.
Positioning this race in the latter part of the race meet and one month
prior to the Minnesota Festival of Champions, the Shakopee Juvenile
allows for developing Minnesota breds as well as locally based 2 year
olds to race for six figures against open company on the turf course.
The race should also attract well-intended 2-year-olds from around the
midwest.
