When they first had their Super Sunday card around 8 to 10 years ago the (3) Invitationals went for $250,000 each, then $200,000, then $150,000 and $100,000 the past few years. On a normal 15 race card their average purse is under $10,000 and the casino is half empty and located in a terrible and high crime area with boarded up houses nearby, with a small prison 2 blocks away.

Exactly and anything but thriving.

Oak Grove, KY – The record-breaking season of harness racing at Oak Grove just recently passed the halfway point of the 2026 meet and the Southwest Kentucky track continues to show tremendous year-over-year gains in handle.

With Monday’s (May 25) Memorial Day card run alongside many special days of racing from major Thoroughbred outlets, Oak Grove successfully stayed within the shuffle of horseplayers’ action and posted nearly double the handle year-over-year compared to the 2025 Memorial Day card.

Tuesday’s (May 26) 14-race card similarly showed year-over-year gains with nearly 50 percent more bet compared to the same card from 2025. Oak Grove’s handle remains up roughly 28 percent year-over-year past the midpoint of the meet and up 20 percent when exempting the additional day of racing this year for the inaugural Oak Grove Trotting Derby and Oak Grove Trotting Oaks.
