Track History and Fun Facts: For many years, the California Exposition and State Fair has been an important and entertaining event attended by hundreds of thousands of people. More than 900 horses compete at Cal Expo and is also home to the historical California Fair. The Fair continues to attract guests from all over the world by offering affordable family entertainment and a wide selection of attractions. The first version of the expo was held in 1854, organized by the State Agricultural Society. By 1859, the "Cal Expo," as it was known, had begun to grow, and was moved to Sacramento, where it has stayed since, despite a few moves within the city. Cal-Expo recently extended its harness racing to a year-round schedule, and offers wagering on Horse Racing from California and out-of-state tracks. The entire fair grounds is about 356 acres and is located adjacent to the American River.
