Originally built as a Jai Alai Fronton in 1971, Melbourne Greyhound
Park (MGP) was converted into a Greyhound Racing facility in 1990.
The thriving entertainment venue was then, and still is, a
Brevard County landmark. In 1992, simulcast racing was
added to give pari-mutuel enthusiasts access to jai alai,
horse racing, and additional greyhound facilities from
around the United States. In 2004, MGP underwent
a $4-million renovation, which included the addition of
Club52, our 11,000-square foot Las Vegas style poker
room featuring 45 tables of gaming action in the
main room and an exclusive V.I.P. room for private
parties of 20 to 100. MGP/Club52 has made many
significant contributions to the community over the
years and has been host to countless fundraisers and
community functions.

Pat Biddix, Partner/General Manager - Mr. Biddix moved to
Florida in 1954. He was a General Contractor/ Construction
Manager when he was retained by the previous owners to
renovate and build several race tracks across the U.S. and
Mexico. After converting the Brevard Jai Alai Fronton into a
Greyhound Racing facility, Mr. Biddix was asked to accept the
position of President of the florida corporation that owned and
operated Seminole Greyhound Park, Daytona Beach Kennel Club
and Melbourne Greyhound Park. Upon the sale of MGP
to the current owners, Mr. Biddix was offered the position
of Partner/General Manager.
