The track opened on August 30, 1972. It consists of a 1 mile (1.6 km) dirt course and a 7-furlong turf course. It is unusual among United States thoroughbred tracks in offering racing 52 weeks a year. It features the $200,000 Pennsylvania Governor's Cup Handicap for horses three-years-old and up run 5 furlongs on the turf. In 2009 Cardashi, ridden by jockey David Cora, won in a 29–1 upset.
This track is home to Eclipse Special Award winner Rapid Redux and his trainer David J. Wells.
In 2013 the inaugural Penn Mile on turf was run. Its first winner was 3-year-old Rydilluc in a time of 1:33.99. The race is now the only Graded stakes race event at the track classified as a Grade II with stakes of $500,000 in 2017.[1]
This racetrack has been under ongoing investigations through the years by the FBI for race fixing, which included people working in the race office, trainers and vets.[2]

There are now 12 retail sportsbooks up and running in Pennsylvania.
PA online betting apps are one option for sports bettors. You do not need to go to a retail sportsbook to sign up for an app. Let’s be honest though, spending an NFL Sunday or the opening rounds of March Madness betting in the sportsbook is a lot more fun than watching alone.
