Southland Casino Racing History
Southland Casino Racing opened its doors for the first time in 1956. For many years, the greyhounds raced only seasonally from approximately April until October. As the popularity of the live greyhound races grew, especially during the late 1980's, the live greyhound racing season was extended to year-round racing; made possible when the racing surface was fitted with an underground heating system. Southland Casino Racing still holds some of the industry's all time attendance and wagering records. On September 24, 1981, nearly 21,000 people were in attendance, wagering over $1.3 million on that evening's racing performance. Other interesting Southland Casino Racing facts include:
