Vernon NY - The Dr Harry M. Zweig Memorial conditions follow the top money
winners format. The Zweig conditions allow for multiple
consolations of the stake to reduce the possibility of entry solely with the
expectation of refund. There will be consolations for as many
entrants as possible in declining order, measured by 2016 earnings (as recognized by the USTA).

"Racing Conditions: The Main Event will be limited to the highest
money winning horses in 2016 of those that declare as of the published
declaration date and time that equal the number of positions on the starting
gate. The remaining declared horses will be eligible to the Consolations,
segregated by 2016 seasonal earnings. USTA records (including currency
conversions) on earnings shall be accepted as being official. There will be two
(2) “also eligible” drawn for the Finals and the Consolations. Those horses
designated as also eligible in the Main Event will be drawn into the
Consolations, but may be eligible to draw into the Main Event no later than
scratch time for the race. Horses eligible for the Main Event may not race in
the Consolation. At least seven (7) horses must be entered for each Consolation
or they may be canceled at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. If a Consolation
race does not fill or if a declared horse fails to draw into either the Main
Event or a consolation, all sustaining payments made as a three year old will
be refunded to the owner at the time of entry, provided that the horse meets
the current qualifying standards for the race meeting.
