The roots of Maine racing go back to around 1893 when Standardbred races were run at Bass Park in Bangor. Racing was also conducted at State Fair Park in Lewiston and at various fair meets around the state. In 1935 the State of Maine authorized pari-mutual wagering and legalized betting began at it's existing tracks. On July 2nd 1950 a new player came to Maine the Thoroughbred as Scarborough Downs unveiled it's new flat track. Scarborough Downs was opened as the first night racing venue on the east coast. Thoroughbreds raced exclusively till 1969 when a split meet was established, by 1973 the thoroughbreds were history.
