from the Ontario Sires Stakes

Toronto, ON — Owners of 3-year-old horses eligible to be sustained to the Ontario Sires Stakes are being given an extension.

Ontario Racing has extended the payment deadline from Feb. 15 to March 15.

The Board of Directors at Ontario Racing, based on recommendations from the Standardbred Advisory Group, will be approving the 2017 OSS and Standardbred Improvement Program.

It is expected that the OSS Program format and schedule will be released before Feb. 15. However, owners are being given an extension to make their payments as the reminder notices have not yet been mailed.

Further information will be posted on the OSS website (www.ontariosiresstakes.com), the Ontario Racing website (www.ontarioracing.com) and other industry sites as it becomes available.
