Illinois Department of Agriculture Nomination Due Date Changes

The nomination payment for the Cardinal/Violet for 3-year-olds will be delayed until March 16^th (March 15^th is a Sunday.) In addition, due to county fairs starting on May 24^th, the supplement date to make horses eligible to county fairs has been moved to May 1^st (originally was May 15^th.) 

The March 16^th county fair nomination payment and all other IDOA stake payments will remain the same. Nomination forms will be mailed out soon and also available on the IDOA website.

Please note there will be a slight delay in the publication of the stakes guide to finalize any other changes that need to be made to the Illinois stakes program.
