Racing NSW's BOBS bonus scheme will now include payouts to the owners of mares breeding to BOBS stallions. A three-year trial will commence in August that will see A$2-million paid out to mare owners. This will be financed by an additional A$1-million from Racing NSW and by the A$1-million presently paid in bonuses to owners of stallions nominated for BOBS.
“The significant bonus payments to the mare owners of BOBS bonus winning racehorses will provide a great incentive for owners to breed their mares to BOBS eligible stallions. This will have a positive impact on the NSW foal crops in coming years,” said Racing NSW Chief Executive Peter V'landys. “I greatly appreciate the work done by Thoroughbred Breeders NSW who have been the architects of this new element to BOBS. Racing NSW also acknowledges the agreement from stallion owners and studs to change the structure of BOBS bonuses, with a view to an increased number of matings.”
