Spring has finally sprung!! Lots of new foals are being born and racing is underway.
HHYF At Shenandoah Downs
We’re excited to announce that the HHYF will be putting on a one day event at Shenandoah Downs on September 8th. It is open for children of all ages. They will be able to do all kinds of activities that will educate them about Standardbreds and harness racing. Details will be posted on the website and Facebook as plans are finalized. We will be looking for some adult volunteers to help make this a memorable day for the kids. If you know a child that would be interested, or if you would like to volunteer, please email Debbie at info@vhha.net.
Yearling Nominations
Yearling nominations for foals of 2017 are due by May 15th. Forms are available on our website, www.VHHA.net.
Sustaining Payments
Two year old and three year old sustaining payments for the 2018 Breeders’ Fund are due by May 15th. These forms are also available on our website, www.VHHA.net.
Racing Under Saddle
Have you ever been to a Standardbred racing under saddle event? Make plans to come to Shenandoah Downs on October 14th and support this group as they race during our meet. If you are interested in participating in the race, please email allans@rus-midatlantic.org for more information.
House Bill #1609
Thank you to everyone who wrote and emailed in support of this bill. It has now been signed by the Govenor. This bill allows for historic horse race machines to be placed at the OTB’s and Colonial Downs. This will generate additional income that will help fund our purse accounts and expand racing in Virginia. The future is looking brighter for racing!
