Hazel Park carries the distinction of being the first 5/8ths mile track in America, and it has attracted some of the nation's top drivers, trainers and horses since its inaugural harness meet in 1953. The track was a dual-breed facility from 1949 through 1984 and has hosted harness racing exclusively since 1985.

Michigan's strong harness racing foundation coupled with a steady influx of racing stables from across of the U.S. and Canada has helped cement Hazel Park's status as among the industry's best.

  • Motor City Pace
  • Rose Red Pace
  • Wm. C. Connors Trot
  • Nicole Hudock Memorial Pace
