Columbus, OH — The Ohio Standardbred Development Fund has scheduled a meeting on Tuesday, December 23, to discuss a change in the 2009 Ohio Sires Stakes race dates that were approved at their December 9 meeting.

Requests from Northfield Park, Lebanon Raceway and the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association, and objections from Scioto Downs have necessitated the meeting.

The meeting will be held in Room 1910 of the Riffe Center at 77 S. High St. in Columbus, Ohio and will begin at 3:00 p.m. The meeting is open to the public, but should only last about 10 minutes.
