Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino

Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino (SPR&C) is a racino located in Sunland Park, New Mexico, a suburb in southern New Mexico. The casino, open 112 hours a week, also offers many electronic table games including roulette, blackjack and Texas Hold 'Em.

Opened in 1959 as a Thoroughbred racing track, Sunland Park was the only legalized gambling venue in the region for many years. In 1999, at a time when horse racing was experiencing a decline as casinos and lotteries became commonplace, New Mexico legislators allowed slot machines at the track. Now with over 700 machines in play, racing at Sunland has benefited greatly, with purses increasing from a $35,000 daily average in the early 1990s to nearly a quarter million per day today.

Sunland Park was the track where jockeys Jerry Bailey, Pat Valenzuela, and Cash Asmussen got their starts. Bill Shoemaker, who hails from the area, also rode at Sunland.

On October 15, 2025, Strategic Gaming Management announced that it had completed the purchase of SPR&C for $301 million. Shortly thereafter, the firm sold the real property to the real estate investment trust Gaming and Leisure Properties in a sale-leaseback transaction.
