While many fans know JELD-WEN Field to be the beloved home of the Portland Timbers, the field itself has a long history going back all the way to 1926. With events ranging from football, rock concerts, dog racing, track and field, ski jumping and yes, soccer, JELD-WEN Field is full of great stories and memorable people. This latest edition: Fawn Warrior.

Pari-mutuel betting was legalized by the Oregon legislature in 1933 and the Multnomah Kennel Club signed a five-year lease for an annual 60-day dog-racing season, serving as the anchor attraction at Multnomah Stadium (JELD-WEN Field) for more than 20 years and accounting for an estimated 60 percent of annual stadium attendance. As it turned out, fans loved the dogs, especially Fawn Warrior, who completed the 1933 season with an 11-4-1 record in 17 starts, missing the money once after being bumped. The oldes of the nine contestants in the 1933 Derby, Fawn Warrior had his following, helping draw more than 35,000 fans to Multnomah Stadium--with thousands more being turned away--as he raced to victory as a 7-5 favorite, establishing a new world record of 35.40 seconds to finish the 604-yard course. The dog races were moved to Portland Meadows after one final season of racing at Multnomah Stadium in 1955.
