Draws for the newly added Late Closers start this week

MGM Northfield Park reminds harness racing horsemen that the draws for the newly added Late Closers start this week.

Each late closer carries a condition of non-winners of two pari-mutuel races (Ohio sired n/w three) or non-winners of $20,000 lifetime (through 9/30/2021).  Each will race four legs for a purse of $11,000 and a final for a purse of $25,000.

Sundays (Oct. 17, Oct. 24, Oct. 31 and Nov. 7) offer The Gridiron Series for horse and gelding pacers.  Monday (Oct. 18) and Tuesdays (Oct. 26, Nov. 2 and Nov. 9) will host The Election Night Series for horse and gelding trotters.  Wednesdays (Oct. 20, Oct. 27, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10) feature the Autumn Leaves Series for filly and mare trotters.  Saturdays (Oct. 23, Oct. 30, Nov. 6 and Nov. 13) will offer The Halloween Series for filly and mare pacers.

Pre-nominations are not necessary. A one-time $300 payment will be required of each entrant prior to their first start in the series (payments are not waived for scratches; entrants do not need to race in all legs of the series).

Horsemen should call 330.467.4101, ext. 52300, and speak to Northfield Park’s race office for any additional questions.
