Hastings, MI – Racing returns to Northville Downs at the Barry Expo Center this Tuesday (Sept. 8) and Wednesday (Sept. 9) with the Michigan Sire Stakes finals taking center stage on Wednesday’s program.
The eight Michigan Sire Stakes finals will feature a combined purse total of $736,500, bringing together some of the state’s top Standardbreds for an exciting afternoon of championship racing.
Last week’s elimination races provided plenty of excitement, with several divisions producing highly competitive finishes. The action also resulted in multiple track records being broken, setting the stage for what promises to be an outstanding pair of racing programs this week.
Tuesday’s card will feature the overnight campaigners, with 11 races scheduled.
Wednesday’s 10-race program will be highlighted by the eight Michigan Sire Stakes finals. The final two races of the afternoon will feature a pair of $13,000 overnight events: the $13,000 Open Trot and $13,000 Open Pace.
With sunny skies and temperatures forecast in the upper 70s to low 80s, weather conditions are expected to be ideal for racing at the Hastings oval. Fans could once again see fast times and perhaps even more track records fall as the Michigan Sire Stakes champions are crowned.
First-race post time is 1 p.m. (EDT) both Tuesday and Wednesday.
