Pays To Be Vicbred - Make Sure Your Foal Is Made In Victoria
When it comes to breeding choices this season, keep this chart handy to make sure you're breeding Vicbred quality and making your horse eligible for all the benefits of the Vicbred program. As a breeder you keep receiving payments over the horse’s lifetime – even if you no longer own him or her. For each two-, three- or four-year-old age restricted race win in Victoria, your Vicbred-eligible horse will earn you a cheque equal to 10% of the overall stake offered on that race. You will also get 5% of prizemoney earnt by your horse in any Vicbred race down to 12th place including the Sires Stakes series, and on any prizemoney earnt in a Breeders Crown Final. Breeders also receive 5% of the Vicbred First Win Bonus which in 2024 will be paid on the first two-, three- or four-year-old win in Victoria, with the total Bonus being $8,000 for Vicbred Basic horses, $9,000 for Vicbred Platinum and $12,000 for Vicbred Pure horses. For horses aged five or older on their first Victorian win, they will receive half the eligible amount.
If you breed to race, you get these amounts on top of your owner earnings – it really does pay to be Vicbred!
