New Jersey Stakes Payments Due May 15
Important payments are due Tuesday, May 15 to make and keep horses eligible to the New Jersey Sire Stakes Program and the Standardbred Development Fund.
Nominations are due for foals of 2017 that are yearlings in 2018. All horses nominated must be registered with the U. S. Trotting Association (USTA), Standardbred Canada (SC) or another appropriate breed registry.
The fee is $50 for the NJSS Premier Division if a copy of the yearling’s registration certificate accompanies the nomination. Without a copy of the certificate, the fee is $75.
It is important to note that the yearling nomination fee is $100 if the foal being nominated is the result of the interstate transport of a registered New Jersey stallion’s semen to a mare outside the state of New Jersey, provided a copy of the certificate accompanies the fee. Without the certificate, the interstate semen transport nomination fee is $125.
Yearling nominations are also due for the New Jersey Standardbred Development Fund for horses by non-New Jersey based stallions whose dams have been previously registered for the program. The fee is $50 for the NJSDF if a copy of the yearling’s registration certificate accompanies the nomination. Without a copy of the certificate, the fee is $75. Yearlings by sires located in New Jersey do not have to pay a separate fee as nomination to the Sire Stakes automatically results in nomination to the SDF program.
All pacing yearlings eligible to either the NJSS Premier Division or the Standardbred Development Fund are also eligible to be nominated to the Renaissance Pace. The Renaissance Pace nomination fee, which is also due May 15, is an additional $25 for the open division and $15 for the filly division.
Nomination forms may be obtained from the NJSS website.
All payments should be mailed to NJSS, P.O. Box 330, Trenton, NJ 08625. NJSS strongly suggests the use of certified mail to avoid potential problems in mailing or delivery of payments. No late payments will be accepted.
