Chief Stipe Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 At Rotorua on Wednesday English Rose became the latest winner of an NZB Insurance Pearl series bonus when breaking her maiden status. The daughter of Makfi secured the Level B Bonus, which rewards the owner with $10,000, the trainer with $1,000 and $500 to the nominator. There are 180 Level B Bonuses up for grabs each season. English Rose is a sister to the 2015-16 NZB Filly of the Year and ATC Oaks winner Sofia Rosa. She is raced by the Te Akau English Rose Syndicate and became the fourth winner of a Pearl Series bonus in as many weeks. Te Akau Syndications have supported the bonus scheme which offers three levels of bonuses for fillies and mares in their two, three and four-year-old racing seasons. The Pearl Series managed by the NZTBA has been in existence for five years and with 36 bonuses struck this season to date, a total close to 200 have been paid out. “Fillies must be nominated when they are yearlings and entries are currently being taken for fillies born anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere in 2017,” NZTBA chief executive Justine Sclater said. “I would like to emphasise that the series is open to all fillies, including those retained by their breeders. They do not have to have been sold at yearling sales.” Early bird entries close on March 31. Further information about the series is available on the NZTBA website http://pearlseries.nzthoroughbred.co.nz/ or nominations can be made online http://pearlseries.nzthoroughbred.co.nz/page/nomination-form/ – alternatively phone the Pearl Hotline 0508 222 202.
