Known for weekend live harness racing including Ohio Sire Stakes and Buckeye-Wolverine Pace. The Buckeye-Wolverine Pace took place every year until ending recently. The race once successfully predicted the outcome of the rival Ohio State-Michigan football game with 75% accuracy.[2]

Move to Dayton

In 2011, Governor John Kasich agreed to allow video lottery terminals at Ohio's seven racetracks.[3] To avoid having Raceway Park compete with its own Hollywood Casino Toledo, Penn National has sought and obtained state approval to move Raceway Park to Dayton.[4] The racetrack move was completed in the Spring of 2014.[5]The racino opened on August 28, 2014 with 1,000 video lottery terminals.
