This is a reminder to all horsemen that beginning with the November 14th
racing program, any New Jersey Sired horse entered in a race with a condition
of non-winners of one, two, three or four pari-mutuel races will race for
60-percent more than the listed purse. The bonus program encompasses both
sexes of horse as well as gait. The Meadowlands wanted to issue this
reminder prior to the Harrisburg Mixed Sale as there will be lucrative
opportunities for New Jersey Sired horses selling at Harrisburg at the upcoming
Meadowlands meet.
The
purse structure will be as follows:
- Non-winners of one:
$10,000
(plus $6,000 for NJ sired horses)
- Non-winners of two:
$12,500
(plus $7,500 for NJ sired horses)
- Non-winners of three:
$15,000
(plus $9,000 for NJ sired horses)
- Non-winners of
four: $17,500
(plus $10,500 for NJ sired horses)
In addition, all races with a condition of non-winners of one, two, three or
four pari-mutuel races will be written with first preference for all horses
that are New Jersey Sired, to ensure that New Jersey sired horses have the most
opportunity to compete for this bonus program.
Regarding the recent announcement of trainers who have achieved entry into the
trainers rewards program, The Meadowlands would like to reiterate that the
program does not include races classified B-1 or higher, nor does it include
stakes, late closer or early closer events. In addition, the program is
limited to the period of November 14, 2014 through February 28, 2015
to ensure our most loyal trainers are able to get their horses raced when The
Meadowlands entry box is in its highest demand.
The program was designed in conjunction with the SBOANJ with the sole purpose
of rewarding those trainers who supported The Meadowlands during the period of
time that it proves most difficult to fill the entry box. Any horsemen
with questions, comments or concerns should contact either The Meadowlands Race
Office or the SBOANJ as any input is valued and appreciated.
