Oaklawn Park Thoroughbred Racetrack, located in Hot Springs (Garland County), officially opened on February 24, 1905, to an enthusiastic crowd of over 3,000 fans. Handle, purses, and attendance have steadily grown over the years, and today thousands just like this 1950s crowd visit the track each racing season.
