Duluth, GA — The American Road Horse and Pony Association salutes The Standardbred Journal for $10,000 added money to WCHS Roadster To Wagon Championship.

“It’s a very generous addition to the prize money and we feel it’s an important way to encourage participants in this historic class that demonstrates the essence of what Roadster horses were originally used for,” said ARHPA President James Nichols of the Roadster To Bike World’s Championship at the 2022 Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show, to be contested on Thursday evening (Aug. 25).

“Mark Yoder and his team at The Standardbred Journal have stepped up to offer and support lucrative programs and competitions for Standardbred Roadsters, and I’m sure the World’s Championship Horse Show appreciates their contribution as much as we, the association for promoting Roadsters, do.”

Scarlett Mattson, manager of the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show, agreed with Nichols and said, “We extend special appreciation to The Standardbred Journal for their added prize money in the Roadster To Wagon World’s Championship. Their contribution doubles the prize money that was originally offered.”

The Standardbred Journal is a magazine owned by a non-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Mt. Hope, Ohio. Its online address is https://www.facebook.com/thestandardbredjournal/.

The 2022 Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show — established in 1902 — will be held in Louisville’s Freedom Hall on Aug. 20–27. Almost 2,000 Roadsters, American Saddlebreds, and Hackney ponies will compete for honors and over $1 million in prize money awarded in 236 classes.
