The SBOANJ would like to remind all horsemen, horsewomen, owners, trainers, and drivers to continue to follow all COVID-19 protocol while attending the Hambletonian and other major events this weekend at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

It is especially important to our future that all persons in the winner's circle have facemasks on at all times, even when taking the picture.

We cannot be too careful and we must take all precautions possible, as we are now making efforts to maintain our appropriations and we do not want to give Trenton any reason to not look favourably upon us, or even worse shut us down. It is no secret that Governor Murphy continues to monitor COVID-19 numbers in NJ and he is very aware of social media and we do not want to show up on his radar in a negative way.

Please be sure to wear facemasks and social distance when in the winner’s circle and while in the paddock areas. You never know when a camera may be watching.
