Freehold Raceway has informed the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey that it will increase purses by five percent, effective with the next condition sheet. Additionally, the preferred pace and mares preferred will be added to the offerings. These steps are being taken prior to the availability of the casino purse supplement.
For owners whose horses lost racing opportunities when a tote failure cut the Freehold program short on Saturday, April 12, there will be a payment of $125 per horse for races six through 11. A state-wide failure of the tote equipment hit New Jersey after the fifth race at Freehold had been contested.
Although the cancellation of races was not Freehold’s fault, they are required by SBOANJ contract to pay owners for the late scratch. There will be no deduction for driver or trainer fees. (SBOANJ)
