Standardbred Canada would like to remind all owners and horsepeople that 2010 eligibility fees must be paid prior to any horse racing in 2010.

If the $65 eligibility fee is not paid prior to a horse making its first start (in a race or qualifier), the horse will be suspended after its first outing in 2010 and not reinstated until the fee is paid.

The eligibility fee can be paid beginning Tuesday, December 1.

Eligibility fees can be paid to any Standardbred Canada field representative or by contacting SC's Field Services Department at 905-858-3060. A copy of the form is available here.

The fees can also be paid online via the SC website by clicking here.
