Saratoga Harness Racing Inc., buys Colorado casino
Saratoga Harness Racing Inc. (SHRI), which operates Saratoga Casino and Raceway, has completed its purchase of Fitzgeralds Casino Black Hawk in Colorado, according to a press release on its website.
The property was previously owned by Majestic Star Casino; SHRI paid $28 million for the establishment, which will be renamed Saratoga Casino-Blackhawk.
Last year, SHRI acquired an ownership interest in Ellis Park when the Henderson, Ky., racetrack was seeking help financing its construction of a parlor to house its historical race games.
