Finger Lakes Horse Racing

History[edit]

Finger Lakes Racetrack opened on May 23, 1962 as a thoroughbred horse race track.^[2] The race track has gone through several ownership changes and a cycle of successful and near-bankrupt seasons. Famous jockeys that have ridden at Finger Lakes include Angel Cordero, Pat Day, Julie Krone, and Bill Shoemaker.^[2] Ross Morton, a well-known race caller, was Finger Lakes' announcer from opening day until his death in February 2008. And Tin Cup Chalice, the first winner of the Big Apple Triple Crown of Racing, made his home at Finger Lakes. Unfortunately, Tin Cup Chalice was killed on April 17, 2009 in a freak accident while training at the track. A colt named Zany bolted and collided with him and both horses died.^[3][4]

The track as a seasonal business, holding races from spring to fall, was financially hurt with the advent of Off Track Betting in the 1980s. Finger Lakes rebounded in the 1990s when simulcast racing began. Under this system, patrons were able to attend the clubhouse year-round and wager on races at other tracks around the country.In 2004, Finger Lakes Race Track became Finger Lakes Gaming and Race Track after a $10.5 million renovation. The largest part of the renovation was the addition of a racino, which is a casino-style video gaming floor. Attendance rose at the facility after the introduction of the racino.

Feature Races[edit]

Finger Lakes is home to the New York Derby, a 1 1/16 mile restricted race for 3 year old horses who have been bred in the state of New York. Carrying a purse of $150,000, the race is a part of the Big Apple Triple, consisting of the Mike Lee Stakes at Belmont Park, the New York Derby, and the Albany Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. The New York Derby race is typically run in July.

At this time, Finger Lakes Race Track does not offer any graded stakes. They do offer ungraded and restricted stakes throughout the meet.

Finger lakes online poker site

New York legislators were considering opening up a legal and regulated online poker market in early 2018. The Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack does not host a poker room. However, owners Delaware North operate several poker rooms throughout the country.

The release of the Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack App, with free casino games, suggests Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack and Delaware North are early iGaming adopters. As a result, Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack is likely to consider offering online poker, should the operations become legal.
