The Northwest Race Series
continues to promote

the highest quality of racing

for young horses
in the state of Washington –

with purse money to match!

he Northwest Race Series made its debut in 1988 featuring juvenile runners. It has proven to be a tremendous benefit to Thoroughbred breeding and racing in the Pacific Northwest. From 1988 through 2012, over $14.6-million has been disbursed through the racing programs at Emerald Downs, Longacres, Yakima Meadows and Playfair Race Course. An additional $607,000-plus has been paid in nominator awards and over $415,000 in stallion awards. The series is open to all horses, regardless of where they were foaled.
    The stallion stakes (filly and colt divisions) are part of the series and all stallions are eligible to be nominated, regardless of where they stand. Remember: Offspring of nominated stallions MUST ALSO be nominated to the Northwest Race Series to be able to run in the 2016 Stallion Stakes as two-year-olds. Non-nominated horses by nominated stallions may be supplemented to the 2016 Stallion Stakes at that year’s supplementary fee.
    Stallion nominators’ awards are paid for each race in the Northwest Race Series each year. These awards equal five percent of the total gross purse of each Northwest Race Series race and are paid to the nominators of the sires of the first, second and third place horses as follows: 50% for first, 30% for second and 20% for third.
    To nominate your stallion(s), a nominating fee equal to 50% of the published stud fee, or a minimum of $500, must be postmarked no later than April 15, 2013. (Stallions whose stud fees are by private treaty will require a written statement from the syndicate manager explaining how the stud fee is determined.)
