Miami Valley Raceway, in southwest Ohio, will open its eighth season of harness racing on the afternoon of Jan. 3, 2021.

Miami Valley features one of the highest purse structures in the industry with an average of over $150,000 offered on each program. The regular five-day schedule will include 2:05 p.m. matinees on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, and twilight cards starting at 4:05 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
