🏇 Turf Through Time
Some jockeys win races.
Others become part of the track's identity.
Scott Stevens is one of those names.
With multiple Turf Paradise Derby victories and decades of success in Arizona racing, Stevens became one of the most recognizable riders ever to compete here.
For many fans, watching Scott Stevens thunder down the stretch became part of the Turf Paradise experience.
Legends aren't only remembered for what they won.
They're remembered for how they made people feel.

🏇 Turf Through Time
Before the Suns.
Before the Diamondbacks.
Before the Cardinals called Arizona home.
There was Turf Paradise.
When the track opened in 1956, it became Arizona's first major professional sports venue.
For years, generations of Arizonans gathered here to cheer, celebrate, and experience live sports before the Valley's professional sports boom ever began.
Horse racing helped lay the foundation for Arizona's sports culture.
That's a legacy worth celebrating.
