Alberta’s Next Legacy Project
Rural Heart…Urban Soul!

Set at the foothills of the magnificent Rocky Mountains in the hamlet of Balzac, Alberta is the realization of a dream…a vision conceived in the spirit of the horse.

Located 1.5 km north of the City of Calgary and only 7.5 km from the Calgary International Airport, this unique, state of the art destination promises a year round entertainment experience for people of all ages.

RACING l GAMING l ENTERTAINMENT l EDUCATION l RETAIL l RESTAURANTS

At the heart of the vision is United Horsemen of Alberta’s race track and racing entertainment centre. This multi purpose entertainment facility seamlessly integrates the exciting world of live and simulcast horse racing with a Las Vegas style gaming parlour, dining, and live entertainment.

As the first Class “A” race track to be built in Alberta in the last 70 years, this facility is destined to restore and nurture the growth of the horse racing and breeding industry, contribute to Alberta’s agricultural economy, and includes complimentary supporting business partners as neighbours.
