Cal Expo cited rising costs and a changing landscape as the reason behind ending the agreement.
"Harness racing has been a cherished part of our history, and we are grateful to the passionate community that has supported it over the years," said Tom Martinez, CEO of Cal Expo. "However, it is our responsibility to ensure Cal Expo remains viable and can continue serving the people of California."
But the board decided to accept a staff recommendation to end the lease agreement to end harness racing at Cal Expo.
Cal Expo said during the height of harness racing, it saw 94 race days. But this current season saw that cut down to 39 days.
Friday's announcement comes shortly after X Games announced that it would be postponing its arrival in Sacramento, which was set to be a three-year run at Cal Expo.
