From Al Capone and dog racing, to midget car and harness racing, the history of Northfield Park is one of the most colorful in the standardbred sport. A half-mile track located mid-way between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, it has hosted the greatest drivers and horses in harness racing since its founding in 1957. From modest beginnings, the track now races 220 live race cards every year, providing a consistent racing schedule for patrons on-site and across North America via simulcast. This book details in both words and pictures the history of the storied oval known as The Flying Turns.
