February Payments For All Hambletonian Society-serviced Stakes Due

The initial payment deadline for eligibility to more than 127 stake events at 14 different tracks, headlined by the $1 million Hambletonian at The Meadowlands on August 8 and the $5 million Breeders Crown events at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto on October 24, is fast approaching. 

Because of the federal holiday on Monday, payments for all Hambletonian-Society serviced Stakes are due Tuesday, February 17 and must be postmarked by midnight on Wednesday, February 18, per USTA 
Rule 12.02. 

Important changes to the 2015 stakes landscape include the canceling of the Historic Stakes for this year only; a host of new races and changes to existing ones in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio and the freshman Fall Final Four Championships rotating back to The Meadowlands this year.
