Bowie Race Track

Bowie Race Track

The Bowie Race Track is located in Bowie, Maryland. Built in 1914 by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Society, the track is no longer active. The track was a major attraction in the area, served the now defunct WB&A Railroad that drew passengers from New York, Philadelphia and points along the way.

The track was a natural addition to the area, home to the Belair Stud Farm, founded by Samuel Ogle and credited to be the "Cradle of American thoroughbred racing." [Citation
