Florida Breeders' Incentive Fund Restructured, To Provide $2-Million to Owners

The Florida Breeders' Incentive Fund (FBIF) has been restructured to be open to all races regardless of value, and is projected to provide over $2-million in awards to owners, Gulfstream Park announced via press release.

The FBIF race incentives, which were offering $5,000 per race for claiming races of $25,000 and up or higher conditions, will be raised to $6,000 per race in maiden special weights, allowance, and overnight handicaps. The only exception will be state-bred races. Changes to the fund will reflect beginning May 1.

“The restructuring of the Florida Breeders' Incentive Fund will provide additional incentives to Florida owners,” said Bill Badgett, executive director of Florida racing operations at Gulfstream Park. “We look forward to continuing working with horsemen to make Gulfstream's summer meet a success.”
