The Michigan Gaming Control Board has approved a request from Northville Downs, in conjunction with the Michigan Harness Horsemen’s Association, for Northville Downs to race 10 days from Jan. 5, 2024 through and including Feb. 3, 2024 with racing to be conducted every Friday and Saturday during this time frame with a first race post time each race night of 7 p.m.
Northville Downs, which opened in 1944, will be celebrating its 80th anniversary of operations in 2024.
Operations Manager Mike Carlo said, “We are pleased to be able to offer our horsemen, women, fans and neighbours additional live racing days in 2024 to celebrate our 80th anniversary. While it is bittersweet that this will be our last stand at the old facilty, we look forward to a brighter future for harness racing in Michigan as we move on to our next endeavour and cannot wait to bring a new facility to our fans in the near future."
Northville Downs will continue to offer its ever popular dollar night at The Ville each Friday with $1 pop, live programs and popcorn, $2 hot dogs and beer and hamburger and cheeseburger specials. For live racing dining reservations, call Northville Downs in advance at 248-924-2073.
