THE BOBS BONUS SCHEME provides additional prize money to owners racing BOBS eligible and qualified horses raced in NSW
BOBS is the Breeders Owners Bonus Scheme operating in NSW. Progeny of stallions standing in NSW are eligible for the scheme and a fee must be
paid by the current owner by 1st September to enter each 2yo horse in the scheme. The bonus is available for winners only of most races in NSW, with the exception of Group and Listed races. BOBS bonus is currently paid to owners as follows:
Metropolitan Saturday | Metropolitan Midweek | Provincial Saturday | Country Saturday | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Total Pool for 1st | $20,000 | $10,000 | $10,000 | $5,000 |
Owners 80% | $16,000 | $8,000 | $8,000 | $4,000 |
Bobs Extra is a recent initiative to support owners who have greater expenses when they race older staying types of four years and over. Horses entered into the Bobs Extra scheme, for an additional fee, will collect BOBS prize money, as tabled above, as 4yo’s onwards for races over 1600m and further.
There is also an option to double up into a voucher to be used to purchase another horse (unraced & BOBS eligible) sold via an auction. Each owner can choose whether to take the cash or double up separately.
