The 2026 racing season begins Tuesday at Fairmount Park Casino & Racing with enhancements and an increased purse.
Patrons can experience new food and drink options, additional games in the casino, the reopened clubhouse, restroom upgrades, changes to the wagering menu, a new inner rail on the track, a new winner’s circle, and more.
“It’s always nice when spring comes around and we can open up a race meet, feel that optimism and give people an opportunity to come out here and have a great time,” said General Manager Vince Gabbert,.
The total purse amount for this racing season has increased by $500,000, which Gabbert says will attract a larger field size, top-tier horses from across the region and create more betting interest.
