History
Originally constructed in 1934, Northfield Park racetrack, then known as Sportsman Park with a focus on midget car racing. After 20 years as a successful car racing facility, interest began to wane and in 1956, Sportsman Park was demolished to make way for what would eventually become one of the nation's premier harness racing tracks under the leadership of Carl Milstein, a well known real estate developer and businessman. Carl Milstein purchased the track in 1972.[1]

Slot machines
In early 2009, the Ohio Legislature initiated legislation that would allow each of the state's seven tracks, including Northfield, to install 2,000 slot machines under guidelines developed by the Ohio State Racing Commission. In July 2009, slot machines were approved, and will be installed at Northfield Park pending the approval of Governor John Kasich.[3] Northfield Park's owner Brock Milstein contributed over $500,000 to the campaign to legalize slot machines.[4][5] The facility will be known as the Hard Rock Northfield Park Racino. The racino opened on December 18, 2013 with 2,300 video lottery terminals.
