Description: Eureka Downs was an American horse racing track located near U.S. Route 54 in Eureka, Greenwood County, Kansas. The facility hosted Standardbred harness racing, American Quarter Horse, and Thoroughbred flat racing events. The track was originally built nearby in 1872, but relocated to the present location in 1902. It opened for its first season of racing in 1903, with Thoroughbred and harness racing until 1942 when the track closed for two years due to the outbreak of World War II. Racing resumed in 1945. In 1962, land was purchased adjacent to Eureka Downs to extend the track and build a 440-yard straightaway section to run American Quarter Horse races. The track also held Greyhound racing events on certain days.
