from the PA Harness Racing Commission

Harrisburg, PA — The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission reminds owners of non-resident Pennsylvania-sired Standardbred 2-year-olds that they will not receive breeders awards for the 2014 racing season.

The non-resident 2-year-old disbursements were sunset provisions in the rules of Pennsylvania’s Breeders Fund and ended last racing season. In the 2014 racing season only foals of Pennsylvania-sired and bred resident mares will generate breeders awards.

All future awards will require mare residency.
