Scioto: Last chance to nominate to the Next Generation

Nominations are still open for the Next Generation events for Ohio-sired 2-year-olds, but time is running out. Those interested in securing a spot can make a $12,000 nomination by June 15. The Next Generation for all four 2-year-old divisions will be held Saturday, July 4.

Each division is limited to nine (9) entrants with (8) spots needing purchased in order for the event to fill. If more nominations are received for any division that would exceed nine entrants, a lottery drawing will be held only between those nominations received since the May 15 deadline; anyone who previously submitted a nomination by the April 15 or May 15 deadlines is guaranteed a spot.

Full conditions for The Next Generation are available on the USTA website at horsemen.ustrotting.com.
