WHEELING DOWNS RACECOURSE |
|
| The racecourse of Wheeling Downs was situated
at Wheeling Island in the state of West Virginia.. Its inaugural thoroughbred race meeting
was held in 1937 and it maintained good flat racing until a fire destroyed the grandstand
in 1962. |
| |
The course reopened for both flat and harness racing in
1970 but it closed its gates to horse racing for the final time in 1976. |
|
| After 1976 it became a prominent greyhound
racing track. |
