The $400,000E Hambletonian Maturity is scheduled for Saturday, July 18 at The Meadowlands. It is the seventh edition of the race created by the Hambletonian Society and The Meadowlands to provide more racing opportunity for four-year-old trotters.

The Hambletonian Maturity allows for supplemental entries under the following conditions:

▪ Supplemental entries are due and payable by 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 14, 2020.

The supplemental cheque or wire may also be delivered to the Hambletonian Society office before the end of the business day on Monday, July 13.
