A
perfectly raked oval track framed the Detroit Race Course
as it awaited its 1999 demolition.
Detroit
Race Course
The
end of major league baseball at Tiger Stadium overshadowed
the end of thoroughbred racing at the Detroit Race Course
in the suburb of Livonia.
The
last races were run in 1998 and it continued to operate
as a video racing venue into 1999. It was demolished
in the summer of 1999 and is now the site of a rising industrial
complex.
