Harrahs Philadelphia Racing
Harrah's Philadelphia held its first harness racing season opened on September 10, 2006. It's located in Chester, Pennsylvania, just south of the Philadelphia International Airport and situated in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. It is a very short ride from nearby Maryland as well.
The track is the first-of-its-kind in North America, boasting a "miracle turn" that actually extends over the Delaware River due to a specially constructed bridge. The casino claims to have the largest collection of table games in the Pennsylvania/Delaware area, including blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat.
