Racing enthusiasts, horse owners, and trainers, get ready for an exciting new chapter in Australian racing! The Thoroughbred Sales Race Series is here to revolutionise the industry, bringing an unprecedented opportunity to showcase talent and reward excellence across the nation.
What is the Thoroughbred Sales Race Series?
The Thoroughbred Sales Race Series is a collaborative initiative between Thoroughbred Sales and key racing bodies across select Australian states. Its mission? To invest in the future of racing while supporting account holders and horse owners who dedicate their lives to the sport.
Over the next three years, Thoroughbred Sales will contribute up to AU$4 million in prize money. This ambitious investment aims to energise the racing community and elevate the competition across Australian racetracks.
How It Works
The race series comprises a selection of elite thoroughbred races held in different states, each featuring horses from the Thoroughbred Sales network. The number of races in each state is carefully determined annually, with a decision made before July 31st. This decision hinges on the number of eligible Thoroughbred Sales horses trained or syndicated in that state, ensuring fair representation and opportunities nationwide.
Supporting the Backbone of Racing
At its core, the Thoroughbred Sales Race Series is about empowering the racing community:
- For Horse Owners: The series offers a chance to win substantial prize money, rewarding the time, care, and financial commitment they pour into their horses.
- For Trainers and Syndicators: A platform to showcase their skill and hard work, while also bolstering their reputation in the industry.
- For Racing Fans: A spectacle of thrilling races featuring top-tier horses and fierce competition.
The Impact of AU$4 Million in Prize Money
Prize money is the lifeblood of the racing industry, and the AU$4 million initiative is set to have a transformative impact:
- Encouraging greater participation in racing from owners, trainers, and syndicators.
- Enhancing the quality of competition and the prominence of Australian racing on a global scale.
- Creating economic opportunities within the industry, from training facilities to racetrack events.
