Competitive Edge to Feature Northfield Park OH Harness Racing



May 21, 2005 -- Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Northfield Park for its innovative, educational television series, Competitive Edge. It will be featured in a segment on 'Fast & Exciting Entertainment - The Thrill of Harness Racing."

There's nothing like the adrenaline rush that the live harness racing experience brings. And there's nowhere like Northfield Park, one of America's leading racing facilities, to enjoy that experience.

Northfield Park is the only remaining commercial harness track in Northeast Ohio. Founded in 1957, this half-mile track has hosted the finest drivers and horses in harness racing. Since then, it has gone from being part of a four-track circuit, racing just a few months a year, to a year-round entertainment destination presenting over 200 nights of live racing and offering simulcasting 364 days a year, with interactive account wagering through the websites BetHarness.com and BetRunners.com

Over the years, Northfield Park has undergone multi-million dollar renovations and boasts state-of-the-art simulcasting areas and is the only track in the world with its own microbrewery on the premises. The clubhouse features buffet dining and full menu service, while a seasonal barbecue tent pavilion and a variety of concession stands provide many options for casual dining.

Known as The Home of the Flying Turns for its high-banked curves, Northfield Park offers live racing on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. It also hosts some of harness racing's most prestigious events. The segment will include the 20th Battle of Lake Erie race on June 11, featuring the best veteran pacers on the continent.

The Park's staff is committed to providing hours of entertainment and relaxation for all the family. While parents enjoy winning on the races, their children can win in the high-tech games room where they can play video games, air hockey, skeeball and more.
