Northfield, OH — Northfield Park has announced the dates of four Iron Maiden Late Closing series. These series offer increased 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 April 30, 2015).

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 10 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 15.

Conditions for the series can be found at www.northfieldpark.com. The link is under the “For Horsemen” tab located on Northfield’s homepage.
