Emerald Downs is a thoroughbred racetrack in Auburn, Washington, located a half mile east of Highway 167. It is named after Seattle, the Emerald City. Emerald Downs made its official debut as a replacement of Long Acres Racetrack, which closed in September 1992.

The 167-acre facility, located midway between Seattle and Tacoma, has established as the premier thoroughbred racing venue in the Pacific Northwest. The facility hosts several large ungraded stakes and many overnight handicaps and stakes. There are an average of 8 races on week nights, and 10 races per race weekend.

Emerald Downs biggest race is the Longacres Mile Handicap, a Grade III event. Wasserman is the track’s all-time leading earner, with $560,858 in purses won entering the 2013 racing season. West Seattle Boy is the horse with the most wins in track history with 21 career trips to the winner’s circle
