- In 1953, a New York ad executive turned horse breeder named
Frederick Van Lennen purchased a failed Depression-era thoroughbred
racing track and vowed to build the “Taj Mahal” of
harness racing. He faced formidable legal opposition from various
parties with
interests in the pari-mutuel business.
Race Track
- On February 4, 1964, the $5.5 million Pompano Park race track first opened
its gates to the public. Pompano Park race track’s inaugural season
was a 46-night harness racing meet.
- Throughout its 40-year history, Pompano Park race track has hosted many
of harness racing’s greatest horses, drivers and trainers.
Each year, it also hosts several charitable fund raising events.
It is the
home of the Broward County Fair. It has also been designated a
hurricane shelter for horses for Florida.
