Joint Return Pays $23.50, Longacres

Longacres ran thoroughbred racing in Renton, Washington from 1933 until 1992, making it the longest continuously operating track on the West Coast at closure. It sat on farmland about ten miles south of Seattle, built in 28 days during the Depression by the developer Joseph Gottstein, and grew into the center of Pacific Northwest racing for nearly six decades. Boeing bought the property in 1990 and razed the grandstand in 1995; the site is now a company campus.

This sheet covers the first two races of a given card, structured as the two halves of a daily double (a single wager requiring the bettor to correctly pick the winner of both races in sequence, bought before the first goes off). The First race — 5½ furlongs, or roughly 1,100 yards — was limited to maiden (never-won) three-year-old fillies bred in Washington state, with a $1,300 purse. The Second, at six furlongs (about three-quarters of a mile), was a $1,000 claiming race (any horse entered could be purchased at that price by another owner), open to horses of any age that hadn't won since the previous December 31.

• Purse levels in the low four figures and the $1,000 claiming price point toward the middle decades of the track's run, likely the 1950s through 1970s — though the program carries no printed date.
• Eight horses are listed in the first race; ten in the second. Each entry shows owner, trainer, morning-line odds (the track handicapper's pre-race estimate), and jockey, along with weight and color markings.
• The clocker's selections — times recorded by the track clocker during morning workouts, used to tip likely runners — appear at the foot of each column: 1–2–8 for the first race, 7–4–2 for the second.

The note "Children Under 10 Not Admitted" was standard policy at pari-mutuel (pooled-betting) tracks throughout this era, a condition of their state gaming licenses. The reminder to "CHECK YOUR CHANGE" at the bottom right reflects the era's reliance on cash windows and hand-counted payouts.
