Cleveland track club

Because of interest in developing trotting races, the Cleveland Driving Park Company built a racecourse in in co-operation with the Northern Ohio Fair Association.

The track located on St. Clair Avenue between East 88th and East st streets, was part of an acre development that attracted the city's wealthy sportsmen in the summer. A bridge over St. Clair connected the track with the fairgrounds. The Glenville Race Track remained successful after the fair closed with harness racing the principal attraction.

Fast horses and their colorful owners, trainers, and drivers proved to be a more enduring draw. The Cleveland Driving Park Company considered the first amateur driving club in America, featured foot, bicycle, horse, and harness races and attracted wealthy horse enthusiasts such as William Bingham, Liberty Holden, and Samuel Mather. Within the year, the group became part of the Grand Circuit, the major league of harness racing.

In , the track claimed the national trotting record for the one-mile, set by Maud S. After that, Maud S. Club members gathered at the track every Saturday afternoon during the summer and early fall to compete in trotting races and four-in-hand contests.

Gentlemen commanding the fastest trotters won cups. The lower part of the carriage was closed; the parallel seats high atop carrying the drivers. Those who drove their four-horse team with the most exceptional skill received blue ribbons. A gentleman who won his amateurs treated his comrades to a lavish dinner, at which the loving cup, filled with an endless supply of champagne, was passed around. Team Jock Stop.
