Xtreme Sprint Classic: Speed and versatility will be tested to the extreme.  Maximum 9 horse field vying for a $15,000 purse and only 1/8 of a mile to prove who is the best.
Xtreme Challenge: Perfect for those trotters and pacers that could 'go around again.' We'll add a lap to our normal one mile distance and double the number of starters for this 1-5/8 mile challenge. The Xtreme Challenge is for horses that have started for a base claiming price of $12,000 or lower, also eligible are non-winners of three races or $60,000 lifetime. Separate events will be held for trotters and pacers with $20,000 on the line.
Xtreme Marathon: For gladiators with stamina to spare, we offer the Xtreme Marathon - a three lap, 1-7/8 mile test for $25,000. Eighteen-horse fields on both the trot and pace will duke it out for big money and xtreme prestige. The marathon is for horses that have started for a base claiming price of $20,000 or lower in their last five starts, or are non-winners of $100,000 lifetime.
Xtreme Classic: The ultimate test of endurance. We throw the door open to trotters for the 'grand daddy' of them all – a four lap, 2-1/4 mile battle of attrition. For those up to the test, a purse of $30,000 awaits.
