Sire Stakes Purses payments will be issued by Northville Downs on October 3rd. Horsemen should receive an electronic email from Northville Downs bookkeeper notifying them of the deposit. If you do not have partnership W9 paperwork on file for your horses and updated banking deposit information on where the purse payments need to be deposited - that is going to delay the process as Northville will not release purse payments without w9 information and banking information for tax reporting purposes. W9s and banking forms can be sent to [email protected]

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is urging horse trainers, horse owners, and others in the livestock industry to be cautious when accepting new clients or purchasing new animals. Scammers are posing as new clients who want to bring in their horses to be trained by local trainers, but their vehicle breaks down when transporting the animal, and the requests for money begin.
MDARD is currently assisting the Michigan State Police with a case in Otsego County where scammers were targeting horse trainers, horse owners, and others connected to the horse industry who are at least 60 years old and use social media to manage their business.
