Roosevelt Raceway conducted its first race on Sept. 2, 1940, and its last race on June 15, 1988. The Harness Racing Alumni Show compiled a video tribute to the drivers who raced at Roosevelt and made it the "World Capital of Harness Racing."

A slide show of 100 photos is set to the music of the Trade Martin Productions song "Roosevelt Raceway Where It All Began."

The tribute appears below.
