The SBOANJ has announced that there will be a significant purse increase to both the Garden State Trot #1 and the Garden State Trot #2 based on the addition of the state-sired appropriation funding.

The Garden State Trot #1 for three-year-old New Jersey Sired trotters scheduled to race at Freehold Raceway -- fillies on Friday, October 25 and colts on Oct. 26 -- was previously advertised with an estimated purse of $50,000. The new minimum purse has been increased to $80,000 for both fillies and colts.

The Meadowlands will host the Garden State Trot #2 for two-year-old New Jersey-Sired trotters, which was advertised as a $60,000 purse will be increased to a minimum purse of $90,000 for both fillies and colts to be raced on November 9.
