A unique red clay, one-mile racing track, Red Mile is the second oldest harness race track in the world.  The inaugural race was held over 135 years ago on September 28, 1875.  The Live Racing Schedule runs from August through early October.  Daily simulcast schedules include Quarter Horse, Paint, Arabian or Appaloosa races. 

The Red Mile facilities can provide visitors with more than horse racing…wedding receptions, corporate meetings, family reunions, holiday parties, concerts and more.  Arrange for your company or club to tour the grounds and plan your next event.
