Northfield Park series update

Due to a heavy storm that forced the cancellation of live harness racing at Northfield Park on Wednesday, June 14, date changes are being announced to the trotting divisions of the Iron Maiden Series.  The scheduled opening legs of the series for both filly & mare and colt & gelding trotters were also washed away as part of the June 14 program. 

All three legs and the Finals for both of the Iron Maiden Series' for trotters will be pushed back one week.  The revamped schedule is now:

1st Leg – Wednesday, June 21

2nd Leg – Wednesday, June 28

3rd Leg – Wednesday, July 5

Final – Wednesday, July 12

Northfield will make every effort to contact the trainers of each nominated horse.  Due to possible stakes conflicts that the date changes could cause, the connections of each nominated trotter will be given the option of withdrawing from the series and getting back their $200 entry fee.  Please notify Northfield's race office (330-467-4101) by 9 AM on Friday, June 16 (the time entries are due for what will now be Leg 1 of the series'), if you wish to withdraw your nomination.

These changes to the trotting series will have no effect on the Iron Maiden Series for pacers, which will continue as previously scheduled.
