About Pleasanton Racetrack
Pleasanton Racetrack is called the oldest racetrack in America and dates to 1858, when it was constructed by the son of the Spanish Don, Augustin Bernal. It sits in Pleasanton, a city of 65,000 located between San Francisco and San Jose in California's Alameda County.
On July 23, 1939, mutuel wagering began and Pleasanton was quick to have mutuel pools installed. Many racing experts hail Pleasanton Racetrack as "the birthplace of horse racing in California" and many famous horses traveled to Pleasanton to test the track's rich and fertile soil.
Pleasanton's racetrack hosts the second of eight county and state fair meets. These races, called the "leaky roof" circuit by horsemen in the 1940s and '50s, contrasts with the private tracks that hold races for four to five months during non-summer months.
Unlike the majority of California's county fair racetracks, Pleasanton's track is used year round for training racehorses. An average of 250 horses are boarded at the Fairgrounds' 700-stall stable at any given time. The summer races involve approximately 1,000 horses. For residents of Pleasanton, raising horses is not only a lucrative and fulfilling business, but a way of life.
