Heather McGrail Alameda County Fair Board of Directors. It has a nice ring to it, doesn t it? But the McGrail name is hardly new to the group, as her father Jim was a board member for some time before passing away five years ago.
If it s June and school is out, it must be time for the Alameda County Fair to take place. And if the fair is going on, it also means it s time for horse racing to come to the Pleasanton track, the oldest one-mile dirt track in U.S.
Horse racing at the Alameda County Fair has been as normal as the fair itself every summer. After a pandemic shift, racing is back with the fair, ready to roll with a full slate of concerts and events to go with 13 days of action.
