remind horsemen that stakes administered by those tracks have nomination and
sustaining payments due by March 15. However, since the 15th falls on a
Saturday this year, payments postmarked by Monday (March 17) will be accepted.
Those payments include
the Empire Breeders Classic sustaining payments on the foals of 2012 that will
race as three year olds this year, nomination payment for this year’s two year
olds to race in the 2105 edition and stallions that bred mares in New York
during the 2012 season to make their foals of 2013 eligible to the 2016 race.
The Kindergarten
Trotting Classic for freshman in 2014 and the complete slate of stakes for
older horses also have a March 15 nomination.
