Minor program administrative adjustments have been made to the Program Criteria for 2010, to open up more opportunities for participants.
Princess Bonus payout now extends for future years
Current requirements state that a person who holds a Princess Bonus Certificate must use it within 5 years of it having been earned. A number of inquiries have been received to keep a good mare on the racetrack for a longer period of time. The original reasons for maintaining a 5 year end to the benefit was done for accounting reasons, and the auditors have advised that this requirement is no longer necessary.
Change
Where an individual wishes to delay breeding their mare beyond the life of the Bonus, they can apply to the Program Administrator who will make a determination on a case by case basis.
