MGM Northfield Park is pleased to announce the official reopening of wagering on live and simulcast harness racing on Friday, June 19 at 11:30am.
The action kicks off with Gulfstream Park at noon, followed by a full slate of the best thoroughbred and harness action from around the globe, and the opportunity to advance wager on Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Then on Saturday doors will open at 11am for Belmont Stakes Day. The 152 running of the $1,500,000 Belmont Stakes is scheduled for approximately 5:42pm. At 6 pm it's post time at the Flying Turns with 15-races on the card.
While MGM Northfield Park was closed, time was well spent — planning and implementing extensive health and safety measures. Upon entering the racetrack guests will notice changes throughout the facility to promote physical distancing to ensure safety and well-being of our guests and team. Protocols have been implemented in both buildings following the guidance from the local health department and elected officials.
Live racing continues next week with racing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings and full card simulcasting takes place daily from 11:30am until around midnight.
