Michael H. Bradley, CEO of the California Mid-State Fair, said, “We are extremely pleased to continue our work with the NRCHA and their world class event. So many good people work so very hard to put on the Derby each year. To be chosen as their venue partner is an extreme privilege.”
“We are looking forward to our continued partnership with the Paso Robles Event Center and hosting the Derby in Paso Robles for the next three years,” said Jay Winborn, NRCHA Executive Director.
In addition, nationally recognized equestrian Sandy Collier has been secured as the Paso Robles Event Center Equestrian Ambassador and Strategic Show Liaison.

“We are thrilled with the continued improvements at the Paso Robles Event Center, including the addition of the 100,000 square foot Paso Robles Pavilion, more than 200 new stalls and 75 RV hook up spaces. The Paso Robles Event Center is a star attraction in the world of equestrian facilities in the western United States,” said Collier.
