A group of North America’s best veteran pacers are set to collide at MGM Northfield Park for the $200,000 Battle of Lake Erie on Saturday night, June 5.
This Is The Plan, winner of the $514,000 Borgata Series Final at Yonkers on April 19, headlines a field of nine of the sport’s fastest horses. Trained by harness racing’s all-time leading conditioner Ron Burke, This Is The Plan is the top-earning horse in harness racing in 2021 with over $324,000 in purses. The six-year-old has amassed a career bankroll of over $2-million.
Century Farroh, champion of the $500,000 Breeders Crown for veteran pacers in 2020 and the O Brien Horse of the Year, is also expected to be among the Battle of Lake Erie favorites. The Ontario-sired star has earned over $1.2-in earnings for trainer Dr. Ian Moore and owners Ratchford Stables of North Sydney, Nova Scotia.
