This track was built in 1946 on reclaimed land that was once a strip mine, the DuQuoin fair started in 1923 and it had a half-mile horse racing oval before this one was built. This track hosted the famous Hambletonian Stakes harness horse race from 1957 to 1980 before the race returned to the New York City area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
