The Hambletonian Society has issued a reminder for all those making stakes payments to the 2021 events as the April deadline approaches.

Enclosed are links to payment forms and information for the 147 races administered by The Hambletonian Society. Payments for these races are due on April 15, and must be postmarked by midnight of Friday, April 16.

The forms are always available on the Hambletonian Society website and by email or fax per request to the office. All the forms on the website are PDF fillable—just type right in the form, print as many as needed and return the form with payments.

Along with checks, the Hambletonian Society is accepting credit cards as a form of payment for any stakes payments. All credit card payments are subject to a 3-percent service fee which will be added to your payment total.

In April, sustaining payments are due for several of the stakes that we service. Previous payments were required to maintain eligibility for all of the races that have payments due this month. Below are the races which have a payment due this April (broken down by division):

Two-Year-Olds: Breeders Crown #35, The Elevation, Kentuckiana Stallion Management Pace/Trot, Madison County and Matron Series

Three-Year-Olds: Breeders Crown #34, Carl Erskine, Delmonica Hanover, Earl Beal Memorial, James Lynch Memorial, Jennas Beach Boy, Matron Series, Max Hempt Memorial and Monument Circle

Open Horses: Breeders Crown #33, Caesar's Trotting Classic, Dan Patch, Dayton Pacing & Trotting Derbies and the Dayton Distaff Derby

The above races all have similar conditions and payment schedules as they did in 2020, with the exception of the Madison County which is now a Two-Year-Old Colt Trot race only. The condition sheets for each race can be found on their respective pages on the Hambletonian Society website.

To make it more convenient, eligibility lists can be emailed to those nominators who provide their e-mail address and request these lists. Eligibility lists are always available on our website here.

For further information, or to update status on the mailing list, feel free to call the office at (609) 371-2211 or email David Janes at [email protected].
