Keep It's small like many things in North Dakota, but it's an institution, and one of only two horse parks in the state. Horse race venues are well established as a topic of interest on Wikipedia. --AlexWCovington (talk) 22:38, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I cannot find independent, reliable sources that show notability for this venue. Alexwcovington, can you provide these? All of the mentions I find are just minor mentions/blurbs saying there is going to be racing there such and such weekend, and everyone should come out and spend their money - these do not make a place notable.

Keep Racetracks are major athletic venues, and as notable as other such venues--of course, as for any such venue, most of the refs will be about the events held there--that's what the very purpose of an athletic venue is. DGG ( talk ) 18:11, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are plenty of sources to establish notability, e.g. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] You're not likely to find a horse track in the US that doesn't satisfy GNG. Toohool (talk) 07:01, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
