Magna Entertainment Announces the Award of a Gaming License for Gulfstream Park

17 October 2006

Magna Entertainment Corp. (MEC) (NASDAQ: MECA; TSX: MEC.A) today announced that the State of Florida has awarded a Gaming License for slot machine operations at Gulfstream Park racetrack. Gulfstream Park is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of MEC.


"This is an important day in the evolution of Gulfstream Park," said Paul Micucci, President and General Manager of Gulfstream Park. "Adding slots at Gulfstream Park will position us to become a leader in the next generation of racing and gaming facilities."


MEC is proceeding with the development of its slot facility at Gulfstream Park and expects to have 516 slot machines installed and operational within the next several weeks.


Gulfstream Park, which opened in 1939, is located on approximately 255 acres of land in the cities of Hallandale and Aventura, between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale in Florida. Gulfstream Park runs a thoroughbred racing meet each winter which is highlighted by the Florida Derby for three year olds. In January 2006, Gulfstream Park opened its race meet with significant modifications and enhancements to its racing surfaces and a new dirt and turf racetrack, featuring a 1 1/8-mile main track and one-mile turf course were opened. Gulfstream Park also boasts a new modern clubhouse/grandstand offering an array of restaurants and entertainment facilities.


MEC, North America's number one owner and operator of horse racetracks, based on revenues, acquires, develops and operates horse racetracks and related casino and pari-mutuel wagering operations, including off-track betting facilities. Additionally, MEC owns and operates XpressBet(R), a national Internet and telephone account wagering systems, and Horse Racing TV(TM), a 24-hour horse racing television network.
