Manalapan, NJ — Every effort is being made by the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey to race the Anthony Abbatiello New Jersey Classic and the Thomas D’Altrui Miss New Jersey events for 2017.
However, due to circumstances beyond the control of the SBOANJ, changes to the sustaining payments, starting fees, and purses may have to be made and are pending at this time. If it becomes necessary to cancel these events, all payments will be prorated and disbursed to the owners of all eligible horses at the time of cancelation.
Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements that will affect the status of these races. If you have any questions feel free to call the SBOANJ office at 732.462.2357.
The Anthony Abbatiello New Jersey Classic and the Thomas D’Altrui Miss New Jersey have both been canceled for 2018. The reason for cancelation is due to lack of nominations and circumstances beyond control of the SBOANJ. All nominations and sustaining payments will be refunded to the owner of the eligible horse(s).
