Harness racing horse drowns at MGM Northfield Park

A harness racing horse drowned at MGM Northfield Park on Monday evening. Alfred Hanover had just finished second in the second race of the night. He was unhooked from the race bike when he was startled by a nearby tractor and ran into a pond. The horse died. Harness racing was set to resume on Wednesday at 4 p.m. In 2019, another horse at Northfields drowned under similar circumstances. Last year, a trotter, "Creatine Star," nearly died at the same event.
