According to the story, “The racetrack, located in Northville on S. Center Street near 7 Mile Road, will have its final race on Feb. 3. The racetrack allows people to watch and bet live horse races on weekends and is open during the week to bet on simulcast races. Starting Feb. 5, patrons will not be able to place simulcast wagers in person at Northville Downs.

“Simulcast wagering will return after the racetrack reopens its news location, the state said. Northville Downs has purchased 128 acres of land in Plymouth Township near Five Mile Road and Ridge Road and is waiting for approval from the township board to build a harness racing facility.”
