Racing SA boosts Rewards Bonus scheme
Racing SA reaffirms commitment to the state's breeding industry
Racing SA is pleased to announce an enhancement to the Racing Rewards Bonus scheme to support the breeding community in South Australia. Effective immediately, all Category 2 & 3 Nominations for the Racing Rewards Bonus Scheme will join Category 1 nominations being free, providing breeders/nominators with financial relief of $550 (Cat. 2) and $825 (Cat. 3) (inc. GST) per Yearling.
All SA-bred yearlings will be included in Racing SA's lucrative Racing Rewards Bonus Scheme, which provides approximately $3m annually in bonuses to breeders, nominators, owners, trainers and jockeys.
Further benefits of this initiative are that Racing SA will automatically register SA-bred horses into the scheme via the Stud Book, and for those that had already paid nomination fees for 2024 foals (Category 2 & 3), fees will be refunded.
Nick Bawden, CEO of Racing SA, reaffirmed the commitment to supporting the state's breeding industry. "We want to ensure that our local breeders and owners have every opportunity to thrive. These incentive changes reflect our partnership with the breeders' association and our dedication to nurturing the future of South Australian racing."
South Australian Thoroughbred Breeders President and Willow Grove Stud Owner/Operator Ralph Satchell said, "I want to express our sincere appreciation to the Board and Staff at Racing SA for their collaborative efforts leading to this positive development, which aims to assist breeders in South Australia and promote the growth and viability of South Australian racing."
Satchell continued, "As the thoroughbred industry and breeding in South Australia continue to evolve towards quality broodmare stock, initiatives like this play a critical role in sustaining and growing the local breeding community, ensuring that South Australia remains a vibrant contributor to the racing landscape."
