Miami Valley Raring To Go (Harness)

[LottaKash]

excerpt: http://www.standardbredcanada.ca/news/1-10-14/miami-valley-raring-go.html
"Just four weeks remain before harness racing gets an exciting brand new venue with VLT-infused purses, a five-eighths mile oval built from scratch by the renowned Coons Brothers, and an immense new 156-stall paddock attached to a modern racing administration building.

With Miami Valley Raceway’s opening night scheduled for Friday, February 7, construction crews are busy completing a myriad of projects to insure a successful start to the 66-night meet. The meet will feature racing five nights a week through May 4. The track will present live programs every Wednesday through Sunday with a 6:30 p.m. first-race post time."

Does anyone know any more about this new "harness venue"....???

I am just guessing, but it would seem to be a "sister-type" track to Scioto or Northfield...Purse & Quality wise, that is....I dunno..

I will be watching, could be something good a coming....Still, if it is what I suspect and have stated, I am not so sure that Harness Racing needs it nowadays....There is so much going on as it is, and imo, another cheap track is just not on my own personal wish list...

We will soon see...:jump:

I think this is the new track replacing Lebanon Raceway....new location and new name....with the slots the purse structure will improve greatly if it patterns the other Ohio tracks.

one more 5/8 ths mile track with no handle that no one wants to bet. More slot money spent well.
