Harness: Ohio racing suspended through May 15

In a letter dated April 10, the Ohio State Racing Commission announced that all live horse racing was cancelled through May 15.

Tracks were instructed to keep the backstretch open if already open and the track available for training.

Northfield Park and Miami Valley are the only two Ohio tracks currently scheduled to race. Miami Valley's closing date will arrive prior to May 15. Scioto Downs was scheduled to open in early May.

The Ohio Sires Stakes races for 3-year-old colt and filly pacers and trotters originally scheduled to take place at Miami Valley Raceway on May 1st and May 3rd 2020 have been postponed due to the COVID-19 virus situation. They will be rescheduled at a later date.
