The NVSA has presented through the local Parks and Recreation to add an Equine Training and Education Center, including 500+ stalls and collaboration with the University of Reno College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources (CABNR). The fairgrounds would include a 5/8 mile track, grandstands and racino. For further information reach out to nvsa@nevadastandardbreds.com

Existing County Fairgrounds

There are three county fair tracks in Nevada located in Elko, Winnemucca and Ely. Elko is the most prominent location. All tracks are half mile tracks and have a chute. There are limited race dates at the locations, but can be leveraged as standardbred racing in Nevada grows.

  • Elko 4H Show
  • Elko Grandstand

Elko County is the location of the largest fair stakes racing in the State of Nevada.  Presently at the Elko County Fair hundreds of horses and thousands of race fans turn out for six days of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing, competing for big-money purses and lots of potential winnings from on-site pari-mutuel betting. A goal of the NVSA is to utilize the site to promote the standardbred industry.
