The oldest track in Pennsylvania and the only one founded by a horseman. Year round harness racing at its best!
What
Founding horseman Delvin Miller named one of the most important events in harness racing after his much beloved horse, Adios. Catch the Adios Pace for the Orchids on the second weekend of August each year.

Where
FREE admission & parking.

Hungry?
Whether you're after casual or more fancy dining, fear not.
Bisteca - a fancier steak and seafood option with outdoor patio.
The Terrace Cafe - still steaky but less fancy! Burgers and Pittsburgh Salads (which come with fries, how delicious!).
Food Court - Burgers, dogs, coffee shops and ice cream stands.
Best Kept Secret
Just about 20 minutes away is Breezy Heights Tavern, in Avella. Since 1927, the best fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole has come out of their kitchen.

Where To Ride
About halfway between Pittsburgh and Washington in Bridgeville is Rolling Hills Ranch, Pennsylvania's "Premiere Riding & Boarding Facility."
