Members of the Standardbred Owners Association of New York are about to be rewarded at Yonkers Raceway.

For two consecutive weeks, starting on Valentine’s Day (February 14 through February 28), one race will be drawn at random and will be designated as the ‘SOA Bonus Race’ with special rewards for members that hit the board.

The owner(s) of the horses finishing first, second and third in the Bonus Race will receive a bonus of $1,000 for finishing first, $500 for finishing second, and $250 for finishing third, in addition to the normal purse money earned, provided that all parties involved with the horse – all owners, trainer and driver – are current members of the SOA of NY.

Each day, the bonus race will be chosen before the start of the daily program in the SOA paddock field office with at least two horsepeople present. The selected race will become the SOA Bonus Race for that day and the selection will be announced in the paddock. Any memberships tendered or received after the selection is drawn will be eligible for the next day’s selection and for the remaining days of the bonus period.

The bonus payment will be made to the winning owner(s) by the SOA of NY. In the event of a dead heat or multiple owners on one horse, the bonus will be split.

Joining the SOA of NY is easy. An application (attached here) can be mailed back or dropped off in person. Also, applications are available at soaofny.com and prospective members can also join and pay by credit card by calling the SOA of NY office at 914-968-3599.

This is just one of many benefits of being an SOA of NY member. This is a benefit that may be repeated. Don't be shut out, join today!
