The Springfield Downs, also known as the Springfield Dog Track, is a dog and horse racing track in Springfield. The mechanized rabbit is called Swifty.
History[]
Santa's Little Helper used to race at the Downs before he was adopted by the Simpsons. Homer and Bart, in desperation to get enough money for Christmas presents after losing Homer's Christmas bonus, bet on the dog but after he lost and his owner abandoned him, the family took Santa's Little Helper home.
Bart's pet horse Duncan also raced there and became very successful.
The Downs are a very popular gambling destination in Springfield, with "E-Z tear-up tickets" and so-called "wuss bets" allowing people to make low-stakes wagers, including that all the horses have a good time on the track.
