'Stallion Series' Announced In Pa.

Published: December 19, 2008 10:58 am EST

The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission is announcing a new series for two-year-olds, the 'Stallion Series,' thereby producing an extra racing option for owners of Pennsylvania-sired freshmen.

There will be four preliminary legs and a $40,000 championship for each of the four divisions of juveniles. The Stallion Series races will be held the racing day before a Sire Stakes race at a given track.

There are no additional sustaining fees to this series -- as long as the March 15 and May 15 Sire Stakes payments have been made, the horse is eligible to the Stallion Series. There is a $200 starting fee for each Stallion Series leg, added to the preliminary purse.

Further questions about the Stallion Series, or any aspect of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes, can be answered by calling 717-787-5539 or emailing [email protected].
