Delaware Park (also known as DelPark) is an American thoroughbred horse racing track, casino, and golf course in Stanton, Delaware. It is located just outside the city of Wilmington, and about 30 miles from Philadelphia.

Thoroughbred racing[edit]

William duPont, Jr. a designer of twenty-three racing courses, designed and built Delaware Park Racetrack in partnership with Donald P. Ross. Phillip T. Harris of Media, PA., was hired as the architectural engineer.^[1] The facility opened on June 26, 1937 and today is the only thoroughbred horse racing track in the state of Delaware. Races are run from May to October.^[2]

Race purses have increased in recent years owing to increasing casino revenues. With the United States national average horse racing purse of $20,762^[3][4] in 2005, the average 2005 purse for DelPark of $30,650 has helped to attract more talented contenders and more first-time competitors to the venue for the 2005 and 2006 racing seasons. The 2005 average purse for DelPark placed Delaware fifth among states of the United States; the first rank for average purse was held by New York at $41,229 per race.

In recent years, near-Triple Crown winner Afleet Alex and Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, both won their career debuts at Delaware (Barbaro did it on the grass at 7–1), and the sprint champion mare Xtra Heat was based there. The track is now home to many horses who routinely ship to and win at the major circuits in New York, Florida and Kentucky.

Delaware Park is also the only mid-Atlantic track to regularly card Arabian races. The area has a strong Arabian and equestrian population. Michael Matz, Barbaro's trainer, won the silver medal in the equestrian events at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Matz is one of several mid-Atlantic trainers to perform on the national stage, along with Barclay Tagg, perennial leading trainer Tim Ritchey and J. Larry Jones, trainer of 2007 Kentucky Derby runnerup Hard Spun, who is also based at Delaware Park. Jones also trained the ill-fated Eight Belles, who also broke her maiden at Delaware before going on to finish second in the 2008 Kentucky Derby prior to her untimely death post-race.

Delaware Park entries are drawn well in advance which often results in short fields after several late scratches. It is not uncommon to see four- or even three-horse fields at Delaware in bad weather. Small fields are an issue because Parx Racing (formerly Philadelphia Park Racetrack), Laurel Park Racecourse, Pimlico Race Course, Charles Town, Mountaineer, and Colonial Downs all run simultaneously. Delaware Park is not part of a racing circuit, but is instead a standalone track. During the off-season, horses who do not lay over for the spring meet often disperse to the above mid-Atlantic tracks, plus New York, while others go to Florida. Conversely, many Florida-based horses 'summer' at Delaware.

Delaware Park also offers simulcasts of races from other tracks.^[5] Wagering on live and simulcast horse races is offered at the Sports Book at Delaware Park.^[6]

Casino[edit]

The Casino at Delaware Park houses close to 2,500 slot machines. As of 2011, about 8,000 people gamble at the casino each day.^[7]

Betting was only allowed on Parlay Cards featuring multiple teams, rather than individual games, along with championship futures. In 2018, sports betting was expanded to single-game and parlay betting on all professional and college sports (excluding Delaware college teams) including auto racing, baseball, basketball, boxing/MMA, football, golf, hockey, and soccer.^[8] Bets are made at the Sports Book located at Delaware Park, with football games televised at the Sports Book throughout the week in addition to the Sports Bar on Sundays.^[9] Live table games are offered after a new law allowing them was passed on January 28, 2010.^[10] Table games at Delaware Park include blackjack, craps, Mississippi stud, pai gow poker, various poker games, roulette, and Spanish 21.^[11] Delaware Park also offers keno at various locations in the casino.^[12]

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Delaware Park (www.delawarepark.com), the Delaware Valley’s premier racetrack and gaming venue, is offering 10 free slot dollars to customers who donate canned goods for the Food Bank of Delaware at the casino next week. Delaware Park also announced today it will match customer contributions by donating $1 to the Food Bank for every pound of food collected, up to $10,000.

Delaware Park sponsored a similar food drive for the Food Bank of Delaware last month with customers donating 16 large containers of canned goods totaling over 3,400 pounds of food.

“Our customers responded very generously during our appeal last month and many asked that we hold the food drive again,” said Andrew Gentile, General Manager at Delaware Park. “We readily agreed. We are proud to support the Food Bank of Delaware, which does a tremendous job feeding people in need in our state.”

Food drive donors must be members of Delaware Park’s Player Rewards Club to be eligible for the slot dollars reward. Players who are not Player Rewards Club Members may join—at no cost—at the time they make their food donations. As members, they will become eligible for invitations to exclusive events, sweepstakes, quarterly rewards, promotional giveaways and the opportunity to play at White Clay Creek Country Club (www.whiteclaycreekgolfcourse.com), Delaware Park's 18-hole championship golf course.

The Food Bank of Delaware is a nonprofit agency that distributes food through over 235 member agencies. It is the only facility in Delaware with the equipment, warehouse and staff to collect donations safely from all sectors of the food industry and efficiently redistribute them to those who need it most. The Food Bank of Delaware distributes more than 10 million pounds of food each year.
