Important payments are due May 15 in order to make and keep horses eligible to the SBOANJ stakes program.
Nominations for foals of 2018 and sustaining payments are due May 15; please refer to the chart below.
The SBOANJ is encouraging owners to make all May stakes payments to NJ races to keep their horses eligible not only for the races but for the newly implemented NJ breeders awards programs.
The Breeders Awards program will award the Breeder of a horse which earns purse income in the eliminations and finals of the following races starting in 2019: New Jersey Sire Stakes Premier division, New Jersey Sire Stakes Standardbred Development Fund, Renaissance Pace, New Jersey Futurity, Garden State Trot, and Home Grown Pace.
Payments equal to 15 percent of purses earned will be made to the Breeder approximately 30 days after the completion of each race.
There will also be a bonus for New Jersey sired horses racing in overnight events that will be paid from the New Jersey state appropriation retro to April 1, 2019. The actual percentage amount will be determined shortly and announcement forth coming.
