from the Harness Horse Breeders of New York State

Lathman, NY — The Harness Horse Breeders of New York State would like to remind horse owners and trainers about updates and other information.

The date at Monticello for all 2-year-old colt trot NYSS events has been changed to June 30 (draw date of June 27 by 9 a.m.).

Please make sure you have USTA eligibility paperwork done and your USTA license to race at County Fairs.

The 2015 proposed USTA rule to stop 2-year-olds from racing on consecutive days did not pass. You may enter and race two days in a row if you wish.

You must have a W-9 on file in the NYSS office to receive County Fair (only) purse checks.

The Monticello race program for Monday (June 27), with a draw date of Wednesday (June 22) by 9 a.m., will have a class for NY-bred 3-year-old trotting fillies with a purse of $5,000.

Residency Form B is due after your resident mare has been in New York for a total of 180 days. These forms must be done every year you bred to a New York eligible stallion and are in the state for at least 180 days.

If you have any questions please call 518.785.5858.
