Northfield Park has announced that it will host nine progressive claiming series throughout the month of December.
Each series starts with a base claiming price of $4,000, $8,000 or $15,000 and progressively increases throughout the series, with no claiming allowed in each final. Each of the three claiming prices will be available for horse and gelding pacers, filly and mare pacers, and for trotters.
“These new late closers are just part of the increased opportunities offered here at Northfield,” said Dave Bianconi, Executive Vice President of Racing and Simulcasting. “As our purses have increased, we would like to fill more and more straight claiming races. These series will give claimers a real opportunity to race for solid purses in each leg and a big money final.”
A one-time $200 payment will be required of each entrant to be eligible. Payments are due by November 25.
