In conjunction with the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association, MGM Northfield Park will honour Hunter Myers on Sunday, March 23 before the first race.

The memorial is scheduled to take place at 5:50 p.m., and the evening’s first race will proceed in silence as a memorial to Myers.

Myers passed away on Thursday, March 20 as a result of injuries sustained in a racing accident at The Meadows on Wednesday (March 19).

Northfield Park’s upcoming non-winners of one series, formally known as the Iron Maiden Series, will now be re-named the Hunter Myers Memorial Series.

First post time on Sunday is 6 p.m.
