Gelding World Cup

[Laura Ferguson]

It's that time of year!, This year's Steward's Cup is at Garden State Racetrack, so we’ll join in (any all weather races could be at Artificial Arena, mixers at Mixed Up Downs, harness at The Meadowfields and steeplechases at Chaser Downs). If people want to sponsor additional steeplechases/all weather/mixed breed races, please feel free - the more the merrier!

The dirt and turf races will once again be run on Week 16 THURSDAY, with the baby races. That gives them a little more attention, so they're not lost in the glom of Week 16 Friday races. The steeplechase and all weather races will be run on Week 16 MONDAY, and if anyone wants to sponsor a mixed breed/harness race, they'd obviously be on the Wednesday

Here are last year's races and sponsors - I'll let last year's sponsors have first crack at doing it again, but if for whatever reason, they can't/don't, I'll open them up for someone else to sponsor on Monday, September 14th (and feel free to downgrade/upgrade the stakes in terms of purse/grade; whatever works for your finances, also GP 1/2 Day is on the 22nd). Kenneth Prater has already reached out to me to let me know that his three are up for grabs this year. As always, thanks for everyone's generosity. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks! Laura
