Traditionally the final stop on the Northern California Fair Circuit, the
Fresno Fair was established in 1882 by a group of Fresno businessman and
professionals serving as members on the Farm Bureau and Chamber of Commerce. The
groups collectively raised a total of $25,000 and purchased 100-acres of land.
Two years later the Association incorporated horse racing into the daily
activities. In 1941 Fresno offered its first pari-mutuel horse racing meeting.
During the war years, racing at Fresno was interrupted, but returned to stay in
1948.
The Fresno Fair built a new VIP area in the Grandstand complete with
state-of-the-art plasma TVs and projectors. When Fresno is not conducting live
racing, the room serves as an upgrade for simulcast patrons.
Fresno is one of the first tracks in the United States to reach out to Spanish
language community both locally and via simulcast by offering audio of the race
calls in both English and Spanish.
