NZ Sires' Stakes payments due August 1
As executive of the NZ Sires' Stakes Board, Martin Pierson has a message for what he calls any "paddock fence-sitters".
"It's decision time for breeders, owners and trainers because it's now or never for the latest round of foal nominations, yearling sustaining and three-year-old payments which all close this Thursday, August 1, 2024."
The deadline comes just weeks after significant new funding was announced for Sires' Stakes races as part of Harness Racing New Zealand's "The Future Starts Now" strategy.
"For the price of a few bags of feed any standardbred breeder or owner can get involved," says Pierson.
In a new podcast Pierson and Sheldon Murtha discuss why the Sires' Stakes is the "Greatest Place to Race".
