Are You & Your Horse Ready To Race?

Published: May 26, 2021 11:05 am EDT

Do you have a horse that will be qualifying for the first time this year, or for the first time ever? Do you have your paperwork in order?

Standardbred Canada would like to remind all horsepeople that all memberships and eligibility fees need to be paid. Additionally, name changes need to be made before a horse ever qualifies. Coggins tests are required as set out in the rules in your racing jurisdiction.

If the $73 eligibility fee is not paid prior to a horse making its first start (in a race or qualifier), the horse will be suspended after its first outing in 2021, and the owner of the horse will then be invoiced. The horse will not be reinstated until the fee is paid (horses do not get ‘free starts’). Please note that if the owner does get invoiced, a $16 (plus HST) processing fee will also be added to the original $73 fee.

The eligibility fee can be paid effective immediately and this and membership renewals are two of many services that can be purchased online. To pay online, register with the SC website and sign into eShop by clicking the eShop button at the top of the homepage.

Eligibility fees can be paid via eShop or by contacting head office, at 905-858-3060, or by faxing the form – which is available by clicking here – to 905-858-8047.
