Opened in 1926 as Lincoln Fields, the Balmoral Park Race Track originally ran thoroughbred horses.
Slowly over time, the race course transformed itself into a harness racing track where, today, it is licenced to only run harness racing.
It does, however, provide a site for simulcast wagering for many other race tracks throughout the US and Canada.
