The Pleasanton Fairgrounds Racetrack at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, California is a one-mile (1.6 km / 8 f) race track for Thoroughbred, Quarter horse and Arabian racing.〔(California Authority of Racing Fairs )〕 Constructed in 1858 by the sons of Spaniard Don Agustin Bernal, it is the oldest horse racing track of its kind in the United States.〔(Race-Track.info.com )〕 In years past, during the winter months wealthy owners in the Eastern United States often shipped their horses to Pleasanton for training. Important races run annually at Pleasanton: * California Wine Stakes * Livermore Valley Wine Stakes * Alameda County Fillies & Mares * Alamedan Handicap * Sam J. Whiting Memorial Handicap * Juan Gonzalez Memorial Stakes * Everett Nevin Alameda County Overnight Stakes Known as the Pleasanton Trotting Park, in 1876 Joseph Nevis took over the racetrack and built its first grandstand. In 1940 the facility was sold to Alameda County.〔(NancyPratt.com )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pleasanton Fairgrounds Racetrack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
