The Hambletonian Society would like to remind horsepeople that payments are due for many of the 153 races administered by the Society on April 15 (postmarked by midnight of Wednesday, April 19).

The payment forms are always available on the Hambletonian Society website and by calling the Society's office for fax and email options. All the forms on the website are PDF fillable. Just type right in the form, print as many as you need and return the form with your payments.

Along with cheques, the Society accepts credit cards as a form of payment for any stakes payments. All credit card payments are subject to a three per cent service fee, which will be added to the payment total.

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

• Two-Year-Olds: Breeders Crown #37, The Elevation, Kentuckiana Stallion Management Pace/Trot, Madison County, Matron Series, Peter Haughton and Jim Doherty.
• Three-Year-Olds: Breeders Crown #36, Carl Erskine, Delmonica Hanover, Earl Beal Memorial, James Lynch Memorial, Jenna's Beach Boy, Matron Series, Max Hempt Memorial and Monument Circle.
• Open Horses: Breeders Crown #35, Caesars Trotting Classic, Dan Patch, Dayton Pacing & Trotting Derbies and the Dayton Distaff & Oaks Derbies.

The above races all have similar conditions and payment schedules as they did in 2022. The condition sheets for each race can be found on the specific race page set up for that race on the Hambletonian Society's 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 the Hambletonian Society website.

For further information, or to update your status on the Society's mailing list, feel free to call the office at 609-371-2211 or email stakes manager Nadia Tarnawa at [email protected].
