Standardbred Canada would like to remind all owners and horsepeople that 2022 eligibility fees must be paid prior to a horse making its first start or qualifier.

If the $73* eligibility fee is not paid prior to a horse making its first start (in a race or qualifier), the horse will be suspended after its first outing in 2022 and not reinstated until the fee is paid. Please note that if the fee remains unpaid, an invoice will be issued the following month, along with a processing fee of $16 plus HST. *Note: Effective February 1, eligibility fees will be increased to $75.

Eligibility fees can be paid to any Standardbred Canada racing services representative, or by contacting SC's racing services department at 905-858-3060 (ext. 285 or 251), or by faxing the form – which is available by clicking here – to 905-858-8047.

The fees can also be paid online via the SC website by clicking here.

SC is continuing to provide a Late Start Eligibility Fee to members. For any horse entered to have its first start of the year after November 30, the eligibility fee that is paid will be valid for 13 months until December 31 of the following year. The eligibility fee will remain the same at $73 until February 1, and then increased to $75, including tax.

The 2021 eligibility fees can be paid on December 1 through the eShop on the Standardbred Canada website or by calling head office, using the fax form or directly to our Racing Services Representatives.

For more information, members are asked to contact SC’s Racing Services department for further details.
