Welcome to our website. For our regulars, you may see that everything looks different. We had to renovate the site and transfer it onto a new server to make the website accessible for everyone. All of the files have been transferred over and you can reach us 24/7 365 at rooseveltraceway.com.
Roosevelt Raceway was and still is an important institution. The raceway created and/or used innovations that proved to make more popular such as the Twin Double, Exacta, Superfecta in the 1960s and in 1946, Roosevelt Raceway commission ed the starting gate, which saved the sport of harness racing, The Phillips Mobile Starting Gate.
As promised, the Roosevelt Raceway Memorial is here to stay for generations to come. This memorial is growing and my wish is to preserve the legacy of Roosevelt Raceway and Horse Racing. We thank all that have helped us over the years to make this site possible and we look forward to hearing from all of you.
Over the past 18 years since we started in 2004, this site would not be here without the thousands that offered us materials and advice as well as good wishes and information. We have spent several thousand man hours and we are thankful for all those that helped us and continue to help us. Our Founder and Webmaster, Christopher James has provided the domain and hosting cost. This is a dedicated effort to keeping the memories alive.
If you want to know more about us and what we do, please see the about us and FAQ page. We are not a nonprofit, we are just racing fans like you and I that want to pay tribute to this great landmark.

We will Start posting the Exhibits here on this page on 10/20/2019. The Exhibits will feature a extensive look of some of the materials preserved at the Roosevelt Raceway Memorial. Its more than a photograph or two but rather the stories behind the piece.
