The Windy City Pace was a harness race for 3-year-old Standardbred pacing horses. It was run annually from 1983 to 2015 at Maywood Park in Melrose Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
The race was originally run during Maywood's spring meet but, after 1991, it was run in the fall. Elimination heats were required to determine the finalists for the main race. It was the top race of a program that also featured Maywood's other top stakes races — the Abe Lincoln, the Galt and the Cinderella.
A notable running of the Windy City was in 1987, when Bomb Rickles won the final at odds of 190-1.
In 2015 the purse was $180,000.[1] Maywood park closed that year.
