Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 20, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 20, 2018 Woodbine Racetrack announced a pair of new incentive programs Friday ahead of its opening day card on Saturday. A Ship and Compete Turf Bonus will offer up to an additional $6,000 to the connections of horses who have never before run in the province and compete in turf allowance races (not maidens). Qualifying horses will receive $2,000 after their first start, plus an additional $2,000 per start after two consecutive appearances at Woodbine. The Ontario oval will also offer a Graded Stakes Bonus Program of up to $50,000 for incoming graded stakes winners. Grade II winners in the current year who have never started at Woodbine will receive a $10,000 bonus for winning a graded race at Woodbine. Grade I winners in the current year will receive $20,000 for winning a Grade II and $50,000 for winning a Grade I. “We have developed two new Thoroughbred incentive programs for the 2018 meet that aim to encourage and reward participation in our turf racing and graded stakes,” said Jonathan Zammit, Vice President, Thoroughbred Racing Operations. “Woodbine continues to present a world class racing product and attracting full, competitive fields for our horseplayers remains a priority.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
