Section 2:32A-2.5 - Yearling nominations

(a) All yearlings to be nominated to the Standardbred Development Fund Program must be registered with the United States Trotting Association or any Standardbred registry recognized by the United States Trotting Association and must hold a certificate of registration dated on or before the time of nomination.

1. Nominations of yearlings to the Standardbred Development Fund Program shall be received along with the nomination fee payment, by the office of the New Jersey Sire Stakes, not later than May 15 of each yearling year or, if May 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, on the next business day following that date. Nominations received after the closing date will not be accepted.

2. Any yearling that has been nominated to the New Jersey Sire Stakes Program shall also be considered nominated to the Standardbred Development Fund Program without further payment of any additional nominating fees. Payment of the nomination fee covers nomination to both the Standardbred Development Fund Program and Premier Program. Thereafter, each program will have separate sustaining payments.

3. Nomination payments are to be made to the New Jersey Sire Stakes, P.O. Box 330, Trenton, NJ 08625.

4. The nomination fee for those yearlings otherwise meeting all Standardbred Development Fund Program eligibility requirements of this chapter, but which were foaled as a result of a breeding with a non-resident New Jersey stallion, shall be $ 50.00 if accompanied by a certificate of registration or a copy of a certificate of registration from the United States Trotting Association or from a Standardbred registry body recognized by the United States Trotting Association. These yearlings shall only be eligible to compete in the Standardbred Development Fund Program and not the New Jersey Sire Stakes Program. An additional $ 25.00 processing fee shall be due if said certificate of registration is not submitted. Thereafter, each program will have separate sustaining payments.

5. Supplemental nominations may be made to the New Jersey Standardbred Development Fund. Parties delinquent in paying on or before the May 15 yearling nomination fee date are given until September 15 of the yearling year to fulfill the aforementioned conditions of nomination and pay the nomination fee along with an additional late fee of $ 500.00. For nominations received after September 15, but on or before February 15 of the two-year-old year, the cost will be $ 700.00 in addition to the original nomination fee.
