Philadelphia Park
3001 Street Road, Pennsylvania
Racing Dates: 8/30/10-12/28/10
PHILADELPHIA PARK, originally called KEYSTONE, opened in November of 1974. Purchased in 1984 by ITB for $40 million, the racetrack received its new name, a new turf course, and an exciting, innovative new way to wager called PHONEBET.
In December of 1990, the racetrack again changed hands. GREENWOOD RACING, INC., a corporation founded in 1989 by British bookmaking veterans Bob Green and Bill Hogwood purchased the Bensalem, PA oval from ITB. Full card simulcasting was added as well as five off-track locations called TURF CLUBS. Race fans are able to watch and wager on the best racing around the world and enjoy fine dining, day and night, 7 days a week.
In 1999, Philadelphia Park Racetrack, Turf Clubs, and Phonebet handled over $501,000,000, representing our best year ever. In addition, purses paid to horsemen, including overnights, stakes, and breeder's awards were the highest in the 25-year-old track's history.
