Milestones in the History of Pompano Park Race Track
- 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.
- 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.
