Toronto, ON — Owners of yearlings eligible to be nominated to the Ontario Sires Stakes should be aware that yearling nomination forms were mailed in mid-April according to the information in the Standardbred Canada computer system at that time.

If you are the corresponding officer of an eligible yearling and have not yet received a nomination form, the yearling conditions as well as a blank yearling nomination form can be downloaded from the forms section of the OSS website.

The C$100 nomination fee for Ontario sired foals of 2015 must be postmarked by May 16, due to the 15th following on a Sunday this year.

Owners are reminded that their yearlings must be registered at the time of nomination and Standardbred Canada requires that the DNA be completed before the foal is registered.

It is recommended that payments be sent by registered mail so the sender has proof of mailing.

All checks should be made payable and mailed to: Ontario Sires Stakes, c/o Ontario Racing, 10 Carlson Court, Suite 400, Toronto, ON M9W 6L2.
