Take a piece of Illinois racing history along for the day with this Balmoral Park tumbler. The Crete property began as Lincoln Fields in 1926 and passed through changing owners, racing formats, and eras before closing as a racetrack in 2015. Its story continued with horse shows beginning in 2017, giving the name a distinctive place in regional sporting memory. A practical everyday companion for commuters, racing fans, and collectors who appreciate the many chapters of Balmoral Park.
Balmoral Park began as Lincoln Fields, a racetrack built on land south of Crete, Illinois, after Kentucky Jockey Club associates agreed in 1925 to purchase 1,050 acres. Racing opened on August 9, 1926. The facility closed during World War II, and its meetings shifted among Hawthorne Race Course and Washington Park before racing returned to Crete in 1954. In 1955, the Balmoral Jockey Club purchased the track and its name changed to Balmoral Park. Ownership and racing arrangements changed repeatedly: Chicago Thoroughbred Enterprises later included Balmoral, and William S. Miller and partners bought it in 1967, converting the track for harness racing. The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation acquired it in 1973 and enlarged the oval, allowing thoroughbred racing to return in 1978. Balmoral became an exclusive harness-racing facility in 1991. Racing ended in 2015 after a court ruling imposed a restitution burden on Illinois racetracks. In May 2017, HITS Inc. reopened the property as a horse-show facility. The horse-show operation later folded, and the facility was listed as permanently closed in 2022.
