New Jersey owners awards are payments to New Jersey Sired horses racing in overnight events at the Meadowlands racetrack. The owner of a New Jersey sired horse who is 6-year-old or under will be paid a monetary amount based on finish; 1st $1,000, 2nd $900, 3rd $800, 4th $700 and 5th $600.

The Resident Mare Rebates are a $1,000 rebate paid to the first owner of record of a mare who has resided in New Jersey for 150 days, up to and including foaling.
