Fort Erie Horse RacingFort Erie Race Track opened its doors in June of 1897 and remains one of the most beautiful tracks in North America. Having been open for more than a century the track's history runs deep. E.P. Taylor made a major contribution to the "Fort", developing the Canadian Triple Crown. The second leg of that crown, The Prince of Wales Stakes, became the Fort Erie Race Track's calling card. There have been no shortage of famous race horses gracing the stalls of this track over the years either. Northern Dancer launched his career at this track and eventually became the "King of Canadian racing" and Dance Smartly, which also had strong ties to this track won the Canadian Triple Crown in 1991. Fort Erie Race Track also features live simulcast racing, betting from home options, and betting off-site options, as well as more than 1000 slot machines and regular wagering promotions on its 85,000 square-foot gaming floor.
