MANALAPAN, NJ – March 9, 2020 – In lieu of the recent indictments in New York, The Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey would like to make the following statement.
As New Jersey's horsemen's representatives, the SBOANJ, would like to remind everyone that our number one concern is that of the integrity of racing and the proper care of all animals competing in our sport. In no way do we condone any of the illegal activity alleged in the release of the indictments Monday morning.
We are confident that the justice system will act accordingly and in the best interest of our sport and the welfare of our horses. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take appropriate action if and when necessary.
by Courtney Stafford, for the SBOANJ
