The Horse Racing Alberta Board of Directors chose Century Casinos to build and operate an “A” Track Horse Racing Facility in the Edmonton area Monday.

Century Casinos Europe GmbH – a company that owns over 10 casinos across Alberta, the United States, Central and South America, and Poland – will replace Northlands as the host of the Canadian Derby and all the other competitions the Northlands Park hosted.

“Century Casinos have proven experience in both gaming and horse racing and will bring that experience, strength and success to the Edmonton area Race Track Facility project,” Horse Racing Alberta said in a press release.

The three other bids came from the Enoch Cree Nation, Alberta Towns in Lacombe, and the Siksika Nation near Calgary.
