The Marion County racecourse project has reached a significant milestone with the acquisition of more than 300 acres of land for a proposed thoroughbred racetrack. The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association and Gilligan Racing announced they have secured control of the property.
Association CEO Lonny Powell and John Morgan were present for the announcement, which marks a key step forward in the development of the new racing facility in Marion County, Florida.
The project aims to establish a major thoroughbred racing venue in the region, though further details on construction timelines and opening dates have not been disclosed.
