Iron Maiden 'Late Closers' return to Northfield

Northfield Park has announced the dates of four Iron Maiden Late Closing Series. These series offer increased harness racing opportunities for younger horses to start their seasons.

All of the late closers carry a condition of: Non-winners of One Pari-Mutuel Race (Ohio Breds N/W Two) or Non-Winners of $7,500 Lifetime (Through 5/14/2017).

The series are divided into filly and mare pacers, colt and gelding pacers, filly and mare trotters, and colt and gelding trotters. However, the trotters will be combined if at least 12 horses do not pay into each event.

A one-time $200 payment will be required of each entrant to be eligible. Payments are due by May 26.

Conditions for the series can be found at www.northfieldpark.com. The link is located on Northfield's homepage.
