OUT-OF-STATE HORSEMEN RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR 2 STARTS!
The California Authority of Racing Fairs (CARF) and Golden
Gate Fields (GGF) have joined efforts to give out-of-state horses an incentive
package for racing in Northern California. Beginning May 1, 2009 an
out-of-state horse* making its first start in Northern California will have a
$300 Relocation Payment deposited into the trainer’s account with the paymaster
at the request of the trainer.
A second payment of $150 will be deposited into the
trainer’s account with the paymaster after the horse makes its second start in
Northern California (the second start must be on the Northern California Fair
Circuit prior to October 18, 2009). That means an out-of-state horse
making two starts in Northern California, either one start at GGF and one start
on the Fair Circuit OR two starts on the Fair Circuit, will receive a total
payment of $450.
Horses making their first start at Ferndale will receive a
first payment of $150 and a second payment of $300 upon making a second start
at either CalExpo or Fresno.
If you have any questions regarding this program, please
contact Larry Swartzlander at 916-799-7084 and Welcome to Northern California!
* An “out-of-state horse”
making its first Northern California start at Golden Gate Fields is a horse
which has last started or worked 600 miles or more from Albany, California (this program does not apply to horses from horses shipping from Emerald Downs
or Hastings Park as GGF will be implementing a separate program for those
horses). An “out-of-state horse” making its first start in Northern
California on the Fair Circuit is a horse that has worked or started 600 miles
or more from Sacramento, California.
