The property was sold for $17.7 million in 1981. This was more than one hundred times the original $160.000 price of the Hazard Ranch in 1949. Racing continued while the new owner got building permits for apartment and condos. The last race was on November 6, 1983 after some 23,000 races. The property is now known as the Centennial Downs at South Federal and Belleview. (History of Littleton ) The NEW ‘horse’ track is called Arapahoe Park and is located in Aurora.
