The racecourse of Raceway Park was situated on the outskirts of the town of Toledo in the state of Ohio and held its inaugural race meeting in 1950. It had a track circumference of 5 1/2 furlongs and at one stage could boast 33 race meetings annually. It specialised in Standardbred harness racing. Its Spring meeting traditionally lasted from mid-March until late April, and it often branched out to include car races. The principal races at the track were the Buckeye-Wolverine Pace and Ohio Sire Stakes. Once Raceway Park closed the racing enthusiasts of Toledo opened Dayton Raceway. |
