The ownership of Sunland Park in New Mexico announced Friday night that it intended to submit a bid for the sixth and final racing license in New Mexico.

A press release stated more details would be released in  the future. The Sunland ownership made its intent known at a commission meeting Thursday.

Sunland is owned by the family of the late Stan Fulton. The track is located just over the border from El Paso, Texas, in Sunland Park, N.M.

Sunland, as with other tracks in New Mexico, operates a slots casino and conducts a mixed meet for Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses.
