Not trying to prove or establish anything, the facts are already known after all these years, but the devil is in the details.

I think it started out as a strictly Thoroughbred track in 1959, but began some harness racing in 1962, but I have also seen some Thoroughbred win pictures from 1968. So, when did they stop ho...
