Inaugurated in 1874 as Woodbine Race Course at the foot of Woodbine Avenue and Lake Ontario, it was owned and operated by two gentlemen named Pardee and Howell. Within a few years financial problems resulted in the property reverting to Joseph Duggan, the original land owner and retired innkeeper. In the early 1880s Duggan founded the Ontario Jockey Club (OJC). The facility hosted seasonal harness racing for Standardbred horses and flat racing events for Thoroughbreds.
Harness racing dates were transferred from Thorncliffe Park Raceway to Old Woodbine to fill the gap between the spring and fall thoroughbred meets, and the track was known as Greenwood Raceway during the harness meet. The track was at the junction of Kingston Road and Queen Street East, with only a narrow strip of land between it and Lake Ontario. Thoroughbred racing continued at Old Woodbine on a shortened six furlong (1,207m) track. Harness races were at first conducted on the thoroughbred track, but serious problems with mud (including the starting gate being immobilized) led to the construction of a five-furlong (1006m) stone dust harness track inside the thoroughbred track. This track was known for its tight turns and long back and homestretches.
A race track (or 'racetrack', 'racing track' or 'racing circuit') is a facility built for racing of vehicles, athletes, or animals (e.g. horse racing or greyhound racing). A race track also may feature grandstands or concourses. Racetracks are also used in the study of animal locomotion. Some motorsport tracks are called speedways.
A racetrack is a permanent facility or building. Racecourse is an alternate term for a horse racing track, found in countries such as the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates. Race tracks built for bicycles are known as velodromes. Circuit is a common alternate term for racetrack, given the usual circuitous configuration of most race tracks, allowing races to occur over several laps.
What happened to Iowa's ghost track? Built in 1963 and abandoned within the same decade, Greenwood Roadway one drew some of the best racers in the United States, even hosting an ex Formula 1 car, pre GT-40 program Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby, and many more. How did this circuit go from jewel of the midwest, to derelict within a span of 4 years? We explore the history of this circuit, and look at what still exists of the old race track today.

Inaugurated in 1874 as Woodbine Race Course at the foot of Woodbine Avenue and Lake Ontario, it was owned and operated by two gentlemen named Pardee and Howell. Within a few years financial problems resulted in the property reverting to Joseph Duggan, the original land owner and retired innkeeper. In the early 1880s Duggan founded the Ontario Jockey Club (OJC). The facility hosted seasonal harness racing for Standardbred horses and flat racing events for Thoroughbreds.
Harness racing dates were transferred from Thorncliffe Park Raceway to Old Woodbine to fill the gap between the spring and fall thoroughbred meets, and the track was known as Greenwood Raceway during the harness meet. The track was at the junction of Kingston Road and Queen Street East, with only a narrow strip of land between it and Lake Ontario. Thoroughbred racing continued at Old Woodbine on a shortened six furlong (1,207m) track. Harness races were at first conducted on the thoroughbred track, but serious problems with mud (including the starting gate being immobilized) led to the construction of a five-furlong (1006m) stone dust harness track inside the thoroughbred track. This track was known for its tight turns and long back and homestretches.
The structure was rebuilt, reopening in October 1986, with FR ParkRacing, a joint venture of PennEntertainment and Greenwood Racing, purchasing the track in 1999, when the racing landscape in New Jerey, and the country, was much different.
But earlier this month, PennEntertainment, which co-owns Freehold with GreenwoodRacing, held a conference call to discuss the company’s third quarter earnings, and CEO Jay Snowden was asked specifically about Freehold.
He was a maintenance mechanic at Kimberly-Clark until an accident forced him into retirement and enjoyed fishing, hunting, and drag racing ... He was a HEJAZ Shriner and enjoyed dirt track racing ... ___ GreenwoodCounty.
The horsemen's group, in its complaint, says FR ParkRacing, operator the track on behalf of co-owners PennEntertainment and Greenwood Racing, evaded contractual responsibilities to horsemen by not ...
... Casinos in Pennsylvania — and GreenwoodRacing ... In 1999, the track was purchased for $46 million by Pennwood Racing, which is a partnership between Penn Gaming and Greenwood Racing, the website said.
MILLVILLE — Second-generation race driver Michael Tancredi knows how to get around a dirt track ... The kids raced at nine different tracks in four states including Greenwood Valley ActionTrack.
Winning a track title is great, ... He then raced 270 microsprints at Greenwood Valley Action track from age 10 through 12 as his grandfather, the late Glen Walter, took him to the races and helped him.
Manchester United forward MasonGreenwood is now being linked with a move to Napoli, according to reports ... Napoli, who have been tracking Greenwood for some time, have now entered the race ... Mason Greenwood attracts further Serie A interest.
Over that time Harman has steadily progressed up the ranks from Kid Karts to a number of go-kart classes then into Micro Sprints, all of those on dirt at Greenwood Valley ActionTrack in Orangeville.
From Fisher’s days as a young man making deliveries for Wingard’s Pharmacy, to his recollections of his father and MooseLodge happenings, to dirt-track races at GreenwoodSpeedway, stories reflect ...
Opened in 1947, GreenwoodSpeedway was a .25 mile ... The Greenwood races often had drivers who had already raced that same day at other larger regional tracks from Gastonia to Winston Salem to Darlington.
He broke his foot one night racing at the old Greenwood track in Toronto – and rode in a double card the next day before finally going to the hospital and having a cast put on.
