The Yearling Bonus Story.

Spending Summary

The 2009 and 2010 schemes achieved funds of £2.7 million resulting in 543 bonuses of £10,000 being paid out directly to Winning Owners.

The 2011 scheme is projected to achieve a fund of £2.3 million for bonuses during 2012 and 2013 (in GB and Ireland only).  With prizemoney levels going through a challenging time it is a great incentive to buy a horse that is eligible for the bonus and give yourself a chance of winning that extra £10,000.
