Stallion nominators’ awards are paid for each race in the Northwest Race Series (NWRS) each year. These awards equal five percent of the total gross purse of each Northwest Race Series race and are paid to the nominators of the sires of the first, second and third place horses as follows: 50% for first, 30% for second and 20% for third.
The Northwest Stallion Stakes (NWSS) is no longer being run. In lieu of that, additional bonus money, known as the NWRS Nominated Sire Awards, will be distributed for each of four NWRS two-year-old stakes races – Angie C. Stakes, King County Express, WTBOA Lads Stakes and Barbara Shinpoch Stakes. Bonuses will be paid to the owners of the first, second and third place horses. These bonuses will be paid in addition to the normally allocated NWRS nominator’s awards. Remember: Offspring of nominated stallions MUST ALSO be nominated to the Northwest Race Series to be eligible to receive NWRS Nominated Sire Awards.
Listed below are the stallions who covered mares in 2019 whose offspring (foals of 2020, yearlings of 2021) are eligible to compete as two-year-olds in 2022 for NWRS Nominated Sire Awards.
