Trenton — They read like a roll call of the immortals: Secretariat; Seattle Slew; Man O’War; Affirmed; Ruffian; Barbaro; Count Fleet; Smarty Jones; Seabiscuit; Spectacular Bid; War Admiral; Citation.
Those are the legends of the oval track, the finest, most exceptional horses that the Sport of Kings has seen over the past century.
Thanks to a groundbreaking partnership with the New Jersey Lottery, horse racing’s legends of tomorrow will be able to be seen at Lottery retailers throughout the Garden State in the days and weeks ahead as part of the New Jersey Lottery’s new “BREEDERS’ CUP® GOLD” instant ticket, which debuted earlier this week.
With this instant ticket, even non-winning tickets can turn into a VIP Trip for Two to the 2008 Breeders’ Cup® World Thoroughbred Championships.
“The Breeders’ Cup® is a cornerstone of the horse racing community, and rightfully so,” said New Jersey Lottery Acting Executive Director William T. Jourdain, “It’s the New Jersey Lottery’s goal to make this instant ticket legendary in New Jersey, too. With ten chances to win up to $30,000 on every ticket, and ten second chance drawings for a VIP Trip for Two to the 2008 Breeders’ Cup® World Thoroughbred Championships, ‘BREEDERS’ CUP® GOLD’ is sure to race out of the gates and into the hands of some very lucky Lottery players.”
“BREEDERS’ CUP® GOLD” offers prizes ranging from $2 to the top prize of $30,000. In addition, “BREEDERS’ CUP® GOLD” also has ten Lottery Bonus Zone “Second Chance” drawings. For each of the ten Lottery Bonus Zone
