St. Asaph Racetrack

St. Asaph Racetrack was a horse racing facility that operated from the late 1800s until 1905 in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia.

[1] The track was a flashpoint for powerful pro- and anti-gambling political interests.

In May 1904, the track was raided by Virginia Attorney General Crandal Mackey, who smashed the gambling equipment and arrested the owners.

Anti-gambling forces finally prevailed and the track closed in 1905.
