Built in 1934 by Al Capone and formerly known as Sportsman Park, Northfield Park racetrack is the only remaining commercial harness track in Northeast Ohio.

The tracks' top race, The Battle of Lake Erie, has featured some of the greatest pacers in the sport including Jaguar Spur, Gallo Blue Chip, Falcon Seelster and Riyadh. In 2007, the race was won by World Champion Maltese Artist, driven by Brett Miller in a world record time of 1:49.4 for the mile.

The track's nickname is "The Home of the Flying Turns" and its motto "Every nineteen minutes the place goes crazy."
