The payment is due on or before Feb. 15, 2019, which entitles the nominator to a single starter. According to the conditions, a nominator may be: an en- tity, individual, stable or farm, or partnership of the afore- mentioned. If more than 10 nominations are received, the nominations will be drawn by lot to determine the final 10 with preference given to those nominations without con- flicts of common ownership with other entries. Slots can be sold, traded or leased by agreement. Hambleton- ian Society president John Campbell told harnessracing.com Sunday afternoon at The Red Mile shortly after a press confer- ence on the track apron heralding the new race that slot own- ers will not have to declare a specific horse until time of entry. The conditions also provide that a horse scratched after entry may be replaced up until the official scratch time. The conditions also state “no more than two horses per trainer allowed.” Any trainer changes made for the purpose of observing “the limitation of two horses per trainer” must do so at least 21 days before the day of the race. Horses changing trainers must be transferred to a trainer not asso- ciated with the previous trainer. Starting September 26 “This is a new idea for our sport,” said Campbell. “With 10 BACKSTRETCH with GORDON slots to be acquired for $100,000 each, the race for 2-year- FROM THE RED MILE old trotters will be a signature event for the Grand Circuit Available in today’s new headlines going forward. There is already tremendous interest from www.harnessracing.com our racing community.” Sponsored by Hunterton Sales Agency Delaware Driving Data HarnessRacing Weekend Preview All-Time Leading Grand Circuit Drivers Kathy Parker Heather Kemper Driver Wins Years [email protected] [email protected] 1.
