NEW SUPPLEMENT PAYMENT ADDED FOR OLDER HORSES
Many horsemen wanted the opportunity to enter the program after the end of the nomination process as younger horses. Due to these requests previously a change was made to allow 2 year old horses to be nominated for life with two additional added penalty dates. A 2 year old may nominate after December 31st of their yearling year until April 1st of their 2 year old year with a payment of $2,700 or after April 1st until July 31st of that year with a payment of $10,000. No additional opportunities for lifetime nomination for 2 year olds is available, after the July 31st date.
Again many wished to be able to make older horses not originally nominated to the program eligible to participate. After much discussion with horsemen and the members of the Board of Directors of the OTA a decision was made to offer the opportunity to nominate for a single year of the races. Any Oklahoma Bred 3 years old and older, may pay a supplement fee equal to 13% of the purse for any race, up to time of entry for the race. This is only a one-time fee for that year’s race and does not make the horse eligible for life. Contact the OTA office with any questions regarding these new changes or about the Oklahoma Classics in general. 85% of the funds from these supplements will be put into the purses for 2008, and 10% will go into the Classic funds for future races.
