As part of the 2016 Renaissance Incentive Program, the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey will pay up to a $400 rebate to those mares that qualified for the program.

The office will rely on the USTA foal registrations to verify that the mare foaled in New Jersey. Your foal must be registered by October 15, 2017 in order to receive the rebate.

Part Two of the renaissance program is for foals of mares bred to New Jersey stallions in 2016 (Great Vintage, Lis Mara, Rock N Roll Heaven and Trixton). The SBOANJ will rebate up to 25 per cent of the paid stud fee, maximum of $1,500. The mare does not need to reside in New Jersey. Applications are due August 10, 2017. Applications with an explanation of requirements are on our website.

The SBOANJ is offering a 2017 pacing stallion rebate for New Jersey stallions enrolled in the USTA STARS program. Eligible stallion: Lis Mara, 50 per cent rebate of the paid stud fee (up to $3,000) to the owner of a mare who resides in New Jersey for 150 days up to and including the foaling. A 25 per cent rebate of the paid stud fee (up to $1,500) for non-resident mares. Applications are due September 1, 2017. Applications with an explanation of requirements are on our website.
