The owners of the slots are not required to declare a two-year-old trotter for the race until entry time. The slot is an entity that may be sold, traded or subject to lease. Each slot owner was required to submit $50,000 per slot by the Feb. 15 deadline. The remaining $50,000 is due by June 1.

The Mohawk Million will take place along with the $850,000 Metro Pace for two-year-old pacers on Sept. 25, putting the sport’s two richest races for freshmen on the same card.
