The Nebraska Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (Nebraska HBPA) is purchasing and developing a site at U.S. 77 and West Denton Road to replace the existing Lincoln Racecourse facility on the Nebraska Innovation Campus. The Nebraska HBPA plans to develop the site over several years, starting with a simulcast facility in late summer 2013. Revenue from the operation will be used to build a grandstand, one-mile track, and barns for up to 1000 horses.
The Nebraska HBPA has an agreement with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to vacate the existing track in July 2012 and the simulcast facility in September 2013 to make way for the improvements planned for Innovation Campus.
The relocated Lincoln Racecourse facility will be located south of West Denton Road, on land previously part of a planned unit development proposed by the Dial Corporation.
