History of Pompano Park

 Return Home
February 01, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Pompano Park Harness Track and Arcadia Publishing will debut its newest book on the history of the track this Friday, Feb. 5.



In Images of America: Pompano Park Harness Track, award-winning historian Frank J. Cavaioli, Ph D, has researched Pompano Park's archival collection of original images and selected the most memorable ones to produce a book certain to entertain and inform. Long a proponent of local history, Cavioli has compiled a tribute to the memory of Frederick and Frances Dodge Van Lennep, who were determined to build a Standardbred horse track and to establish harness racing in Florida.



The book features more than 200 vintage images of the track spanning nearly 90 years, including details of the harness racing industry as an important part of American sports, local and national. Famous and champion horses, drivers, trainers, special events, track managements, celebrities and much more are featured in the book.



Author Frank J. Cavioli will have an autograph session at the racetrack both Friday and Saturday nights from 6 pm to 10 pm outside the Gift Shop at the grandstand entrance.



The 128-page book is available at the Pompano Park Gift Shop and at area bookstores starting on Friday, Feb. 4.
