Record Purses
« on: June 05, 2026, 04:56:26 PM »
Northfield, OH – Forty years of history. A quarter of a million dollars. A field overflowing with champions.

On Saturday night (June 6), Northfield Park Racino will host the 40th edition of the Battle of Lake Erie (Grade 2), and for the first time in the race’s storied history, the purse will stand at a record $250,000. The milestone renewal has attracted one of the deepest and most accomplished fields ever assembled for Northeast Ohio’s signature pacing event.

The more money bet at the Casino's the more money goes into the purse account for the track

Not quite true. Generally speaking, the horsemen only get that through slots/VLT’s. The house gets the $$ from table games, etc.
