Manalapan, NJ — The Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey have implemented many new incentive programs for New Jersey breeders in 2017.

Part one of the Renaissance Incentive program offers those resident mare applicants a $400 rebate. Your foal must be registered and proof of registration is due to the SBOANJ office by Oct. 15, 2017.

Renaissance Program part two will refund 25 percent of the paid stud fee (up to $1,500) for foals of mares bred to New Jersey stallions. The application due date for this rebate is Aug. 10, 2017.

Two other rebates due Sept. 1, 2017 are as follows: 2017 Pacing Stallion rebate for foals of Lis Mara and 2017 Resident Mare program.

Applications and explanations of each program can be found at www.SBOANJ.com.
