Northville added new television sets on the second and third levels of the Clubhouse.

Northville Downs underwent a complete upgrade to the facility to include the addition of 350 brand new flat panel television sets that are located at every table on the second and third levels of the Clubhouse. The track also added a total of 11 brand new big screen television sets that are mounted overhead, giving patrons a panoramic view of the live and simulcast action. Private wagering terminals are also available on the second level of the Clubhouse.

In addition to the exciting new changes that took place in the facility, Northville also underwent a complete overhaul of the website located at www.northvilledowns.com. New to the website this year will be the addition of live video streaming and also video replays.

For the first time ever at Northville Downs, fans will have an opportunity to win $100,000 in cash every live racing night with Royal Flush Fridays and Super Seven Saturdays promotions. Information on these promotions can be found on the website at www.northvilledowns.com.

Of course, another fan favorite, Dollar Night, will be back each and every Friday night. Northville will offer $1.00 hot dogs, soft drinks, popcorn, live programs, and live wagering. Draft beer on Fridays will be reduced to $2.00.

Finally, the wagering format has been adjusted slightly. Northville will still be offering 50 cent trifectas and dime superfectas on all races nightly, but has added two Pick Threes to the racing card, and also will have a Pick Four on the last four races of every program.

Live racing begins this Friday (Feb. 11) and Northville will race every Friday and Saturday night at 7 p.m.
