MANALAPAN, NJ — August 20, 2025 — The SBOANJ is proud to announce the 2025 - 2026 New Jersey Incentive Programs. The Incentive Programs include breeders awards, New Jersey sired owner awards, and the Resident Mare Rebates.


The New Jersey breeder awards pay 12% of the purse amount earned by each horse in division and finals of designated NJ races. The award amounts are determined each year based on the number of horses raced. The following races are included in the program:

NJSS Development Fund Races

SBOANJ Garden State Trot

SBOANJ Home Grown Pace

New Jersey Classic


New Jersey owners awards are payments to New Jersey Sired horses racing in overnight events at the Meadowlands racetrack. The owner of a New Jersey sired horse who is 6-year-old or under will be paid a monetary amount based on finish; 1st $1,000, 2nd $900, 3rd $800, 4th $700 and 5th $600.


The Resident Mare Rebates are a $1,000 rebate paid to the first owner of record of a mare who has resided in New Jersey for 150 days, up to and including foaling.


The SBOANJ oversees all three of these programs, therefore a SBOANJ membership and W9 form are required for payments. Rebates are subject to change based on available funding. For more information visit the www.sboanj.com or call the office 732-462-2357.
