The Virginia Harness Horse Association has announced details of its Mountain Racing Series, open exclusively to 4- and 5-year-old horses that are graduates of Virginia’s lucrative Certified Residency program.

A reminder that the conditions for the 2024 edition of the Dr. Harry M. Zweig Memorial stakes have been revised, with the “Top Money Winners” format changed to “Lifetime Money Winners.” This change takes effect immediately.

Per its Nov. 3, 2023 press release containing the New Meadowlands Racetrack ”exclusion list” and as a result of its pending internal investigation on performance enhancing substances, NMR announces that any persons, entities, owner(s) and/or trainers identified on the previously announced “exclusion list,” who have paid into the Meadowlands stakes and whose eligibility and exclusion has not been resolved to the satisfaction of NMR management by May 1, 2024 may result in horse(s) owned or trained by those on the “exclusion list” being denied eligibility to those stakes and being denied any refund of previous payment(s) without recourse for liability to NMR.
