Bangor Raceway
Bangor Raceway/OTB is located at historic Bass Park in downtown Bangor, Maine. Harness racing has been conducted continuously at Bass Park since 1893 and once was a part of racing's Grand Circuit during the Roaring Twenties. The track's infield has been the site of many historic events, among them the first airplane flight in Maine, the great Transatlantic Balloon Race, and the Bangor State Fair.
Today, Bangor Raceway/OTB hosts mid-summer meets which feature several legs of the Maine Breeders Stakes, the Anah Temple Shrine Trot and Parade, the Billings Amateur Driving Series, and culminating with the annual Paul Bunyan Invitational. Parking and admissions are always free, while prizes, contests and promotions occur every race date.
