WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MARES CREDIT SCHEME

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) support race winning mares in Western Australia through the “EPONA” initiative – a Western Australia Mares Credit Scheme.

This initiative is designed to inject new life into the Western Australian Standardbred breeding industry.

Specifically EPONA :

  • Supports WA filly and mare owners
  • Increases the number of Standardbred foals being bred.
  • Encourages more mares to race in Western Australia
  • Raises the value of locally owned and raced mares

From the 1st March 2013 RWWA has assisted owners by providing a 10% breeding bonus in addition to the winning stake money (Capped at $5000) to race winning fillies and mares towards the payment of stallion services for the 2013/14 season and beyond.

CONDITIONS OF EPONA

  • The Epona Breeding Credit is 10% of the winning stake
  • The amount is in addition to the advertised winning stake
  • The monies are a notional provision calculated by RWWA, to be utilised only once the owner claims for reimbursement against the scheme.
  • The credit will be paid upon receipt of a RWWA EPONA Claim Form and the production of supporting documentation detailing proof of payment, Stud name, Name of Mare, Name of Stallion and a 42 day positive test declaration from either a fully operational stud registered with RWWA or a veterinarian.
  • A mare cannot earn more than $5000 worth of breeding credits
  • The credits do not have to be used within a single breeding season
  • The credits are “attached” to the mare who earned them and are not transferable
  • The credits do not expire however, should the mare die or cannot reproduce any existing credits will be lost
  • The 10% Breeding Credit will be paid on all WA Races (Community, Country, Provincial and Metropolitan)
  • The mare must be located and served / inseminated in Western Australia to be eligible to redeem the Breeding Credit
  • While mares may accrue Breeding Credits from the 1st March 2013, payment of Breeding Credits will only begin in the 2013/14 season.
  • The EPONA Scheme will be reviewed periodically. RWWA has the discretion to change, amend or cancel the scheme at its discretion.
  • The credits can be claimed if conditions of the scheme are met
