It seems we have the approval for the stakes payment for Topsham now and it will be sent out soon.
Notice from the Maine State Harness Racing Commission Office:
Unfortunately, the purse payments will be delayed for Maine Sire Stakes horses that raced at Topsham Fair due to the department not getting permission to send the money for purses to the tracks.
The department has requested an emergency item for permission to send the funds to the tracks, but that approval will not be granted until September 15. Once the permission has been granted the department will send the money to the tracks and they can send the funds to the participants.
Owners and trainers who have money owed to them should see those funds by the 3rd or 4th week of September.
