Dover, DE — A $200 sustaining payment is due for DSBF eligible 2-year-olds who made the March 15 payment of $100. If the 2-year-old isn’t going to race in 2016 the payment may be skipped.

For 2-year-olds racing in 2016 there is a new regulation concerning consolation races. Events of the same gait which have five or fewer entries may be combined as an eight horse field.

A $40 nomination fee is due for DSBF eligible yearlings. A copy of the USTA registration papers must accompany the form. A USTA “Pathway Basic Horse” report is also acceptable.

Payments should be postmarked by May 16 as the 15th falls on a Sunday. It is strongly advised to use mail with a tracking number. Credit card payments are now accepted.
