Derby Lane Greyhound Track
Derby Lane Greyhound Track is a racino located in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. Originally named the St. Petersburg Kennel Club, it is the oldest continuously operating greyhound track in the country.
T.L. Weaver, a lumber entrepreneur, sold the tract of land Derby Lane is sited on to a group of local businessmen, who constructed the track and held its grand inaugural race on January 3, 1925. Shortly thereafter, however, the investors ran into financial hardship and were no longer able to make payments on the land. Possession of the track reverted to Weaver's lumber company, and Weaver decided to keep it and operate it himself. Derby Lane was still owned by the Weaver family as of November 2012.〔Ryan H. Reed, "Born to Run: The Racing Greyhound from Competitor to Companion." (Lexington, KY,: a Thoroughbred Times Book, imprint of BowTie Press, 2010), pg. 36〕
==History==
In 2006 and 2007, Derby Lane was the site of the richest greyhound race in history, the Derby Lane Million, a stakes race in which the winner took home a $500,000 purse (the other $500,000 was divided amongst the remainder of the field). Grey's Calibrator, the only female in the field, won in 2006 〔Jensen, Don. “Greys Calibrator takes run at Derby Lane Cash,” (St. Petersburg Times, February 16, 2006).〕 () and Flying Stanley won in 2007.〔Ryan H. Reed, "Born to Run: The Racing Greyhound from Competitor to Companion" (Lexington, KY,: a Thoroughbred Times Book, imprint of BowTie Press, 2010), page 38.〕 ()
