History of Pocono Downs Race Track
A crowd estimated at 12,000 showed up for Pocono Downs’ opening on July 15, 1965. The Race Track costs an estimated $7 million to build and among its founders were James and Anna Jean Durkin.
The track record during that inaugural season was 2:00.4, established by a horse named Heineken. The record for a trotter was 2:02.2 by Singing Arrow. From 1965 through 1981, there were only 100 horses to break the two-minute barrier.
From 1970 to 1980, thoroughbred racing was held at Pocono Downs Race Track when the Shamrock Racing Association shared the track. Pocono Downs Race Track briefly ceased operations in mid-1972 and served as an evacuation center for residents displaced by the great flood brought about by hurricane Agnes.
Penn National Gaming, Inc., the track's parent company, purchased Pocono Downs Race Track for $47 million in November of 1996 from the estate of the late Joseph B. Banks.
