Draws for MGM Northfield Park's new free-to-enter Summer Series for green three and four-year-olds -- and two-year-olds -- kick off next week.
The conditions are the same for each of the eight series, which are separated by age, gait and sex. All entrants must fit: non-winners of one pari-mutuel race (Ohio-sired non-winners of two races) or $15,000 lifetime -- at time of entry for the elimination round.
Three and four-year-olds in all four divisions will race their $12,500 eliminations on Monday night, July 31 (enter by Thursday morning, July 27). The top nine in each division will return for a $20,000 final on Monday, Aug. 7.
Two-year-olds will tussle in their $12,500 eliminations on Wednesday night, Aug. 2 (enter by Friday morning, July 28). The top nine in each of the four divisions will then return for their $20,000 final on Wednesday, Aug. 9.
All horses must fit Northfield's normal qualifying standards at time of entry for the eliminations.
