Northfield Park on hevoskilpa-ajorata Northfieldissä Yhdysvaltain Ohion osavaltiossa lähellä Clevelandin kaupunkia.[1]

Northfieldin 806 metrin pituisella radalla kilpaillaan ympäri vuoden neljä kertaa viikossa (marras-joulukuussa viisi). Sen lisäksi radalla järjestetään vedonlyöntiä suoralähetyksistä vuoden jokaisena päivänä paitsi joulupäivänä.[1][2] Radan päätapahtuma on Battle of Lake Erie, jota seuraa vuosittain liki 10 000 katsojaa. Battle of Lake Erie on suurin Pohjois-Amerikan peitsareiden avoin kilpailu.[2]

Northfield Parkilla on Ohion ainoa etävetokeskus Cedar Downs Sanduskyssa. Se kuului aiemmin toledolaiselle Raceway Parkille.

Historia

Northfield Parkin paikalla sijaitsi vuonna 1934 valmistunut Sportsman Park, josta aiottiin alun perin koirakilpailurataa englanninvinttikoirille. Suunnitelma koiraradasta ei toteutunut, ja Sportsman Park myytiin. Siitä tehtiin pienoisautojen kilparata ja sillä ajettiin kaksikymmentä vuotta kunnes kiinnostus lajiin hupeni. Vuonna 1956 Sportsfield purettiin uuden hevosradan tieltä.[2]

Northfield Parkin rakennutti ja omisti läheisen Grandview Racewayn omistaja sekä eräs Ohion tärkeimmistä amerikanravurien kasvattajista Walter J. Michael laajentamaan kilpailukautta. Uusi rata avattiin 23. elokuuta 1957. Se oli Painesville Racewayn ja Grandview Racewayn jälkeen kolmas kilpa-ajorata koillisessa Ohiossa. Sittemmin muut kaksi rataa on suljettu. Vuonna 1972 clevelandilainen Carl Milstein osti radasta osuuden.[2]

Carl Milsteinin kuoltua vuonna 1999 radan hallinta siirtyi hänen pojalleen Brock Milsteinille. Nuoremman Milsteinin ja radan toiminnanjohtaja Tom Aldrichin tavoitteena Northfield Parkin suhteen on painottaa sen kilpailutoimintaa mutta tarjota myös suoralähetysveikkaajille mahdollisimman miellyttävät tilat.[2]

Norhfield Parkissa juostiin kilpaa 220 päivänä vuodessa vuoteen 2005 asti, jolloin Ohio State Racing Commission määräsi sen vähentämään kilpailupäiviä 204:n. Sittemmin kilpailupäiviä on lisätty hieman.[2]

Vastauksena kiristyvään kilpailuun vedonlyöjistä Northfield Park on uudistanut tilojaan yli 13 miljoonalla dollarilla vuoden 1996 jälkeen. Vuonna 2008 radalle avattiin uudet ravintola Trackside Loung ja baari Sportsbar terasseineen.[3]
