The $150,000 USD Next Generation for Ohio-sired two-year-olds will highlight the Saturday, July 6 race card at Eldorado Scioto Downs. The evening card will also play host to the $120,000 USD Moni Maker and Nadia Lobell, open events for three-year-old filly trotters and pacers.

All six races will be broadcast locally by Fox Sports 2, as well as through the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association’s Saturday at the Races.
