Columbus, OH — NorthJersey.com is reporting that all 40 New Jersey state Senators have approved a bill designed to increase the number of Standardbred horses in the state, after the Assembly had approved the same bill, 74-0, last week.

The bill now heads to Governor Christie’s desk.

The bill would create a Standardbred Development Program in New Jersey that would expand the pool of horses eligible to receive purse supplements currently set aside for Sire Stakes horses.
