About The Meadows

The Meadows Racetrack and Casino stands within the North Strabane Township in Pennsylvania, around 25 miles from Pittsburgh and has enjoyed more than 50 years hosting races at the site under various owners.

Although the track and its live harness racing are the main features round here, the casino on-site is rather impressive with over 3,300 slot machines present as well as a bowling alley and various table games including poker, roulette, blackjack and craps.

The Meadows History

With no pari-mutuel race track in Western Pennsylvania at the time, plans emerged in the early 1960’s to create a new facility and with ground broken in late 1962 by the Washington Trotting Association, The Meadows opened up on June 28, 1963 to the public and was gratefully received.

Ten years of success followed until the track was sold off in 1973 and another decade later much needed technological improvements were installed; namely the Call-A-Bet feature and the Telecasting of races from the track direct to homes.

These innovations helped grown the business, another sale following in 1986 and again to English bookmaker Ladbrokes in 1988 before it was leased in 2001 by Magna Entertainment Corp. The Meadows was then bought outright once more in 2006 by a Las Vegas-based Casino group with Magna asked to stay on board to run the show.

The last sale of this popular track came in 2014 when Gaming and Leisure Properties agreed a deal worth $440million and it continues to go from strength to strength.

The Meadows Track Details

The track at The Meadows is a 5/8 of a mile dirt oval. Stone dust is the primary component of the track surface which tends to make it very quick, in fact there is an inside passing lane in the home stretch known locally as Lightning Lane.
