Northfield, OH — Northfield Park has announced nine Progressive Claiming Series.

“These claiming late closers are just part of the increased opportunities offered here at Northfield,” said Dave Bianconi, Executive Vice President of Racing and Simulcasting. “These series give claimers a real opportunity to race for solid purses in each leg and a big money final.”

Base claiming prices for the series are $5,000, $8,000 and $15,000, with those tags and purses increasing as horses compete in legs. Each of the claiming prices are offered for filly and mare pacers, horse and gelding pacers, and trotters.

A one-time $300 payment will be required of each entrant to be eligible. Payments are due by Nov. 18.

Further information and nomination sheets for the series can be found in the Northfield Park race office or by going to www.northfieldpark.com. The link is near the bottom of Northfield’s homepage.
