Late payments (bi-monthly) can be made up to 30 days late with a $100 penalty. After 30 days, the entry will be dropped. To re-enter, payment of applicable late nomination and late fees will be necessary.
2005 foals nominated and paid in full into the 2008 Futurity can enter the 2009 NRHA Derby by paying the regular Derby nomination fees, payment fees, and late fees.
2005 foals nominated into the 2008 Futurity (and not paid in full) can enter the 2009 Derby by paying a $150 penalty plus regular Derby nomination fees, payment fees and late fees.
