The Ontario Sires Stakes (OSS) Yearling Nomination forms for foals of 2025 (OSS 55) have been mailed to all registered owners of Ontario-sired yearlings. Owners are reminded that yearling nominations are due before Friday, May 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET and all yearlings paid into the program must be registered at the time of nomination.
Standardbred Canada requires that the DNA and microchipping be completed before the foal is registered.
The OSS Yearling Nomination payment is the only required payment for your yearling to remain eligible to race in the OSS program as a 2-and 3-year old in 2027 and 2028.
If you have any questions, please contact OSS Program Coordinator Christina Saftic at (416) 407-4841 or csaftic@ontarioracing.com
