WestBred

WESTBRED IS THE WAY!

The WestBred bonus scheme was developed to support and reward the breeders and owners of Western Australian bred horses.

By breeding and racing a Westbred horse, breeders & owners can earn bonuses above the normal advertised race stake. Bonuses apply to 2yo & 3yo races for placegetters 1st – 4th where the advertised race stake is < $20,999.

A horse winning it’s first race at 4yo or older will receive the Westbred bonus on it’s first win where the advertised race stake is $20,999 or less.

A Westbred horse is defined as a horse that is born, notified, registered and branded in Western Australia. Satisfying these conditions allows the horse to be eligible to receive Westbred payments.

In addition to Westbred payments, in 2014 the Double WestBred Incentive Scheme was launched. To be eligible for the Double Westbred Scheme a horse must satisfy the Westbed conditions (that being the horse must born, registered, notified and branded in WA) and also they must be sired by a stallion registered and standing in Western Australia at the time of service.

A winner of a race being Double Westbred eligible will result in the owner and breeder receiving double the Westbred payment for the win. Double Westbred payments do not apply to placegetters 2nd – 4th.

Breeders of an eligible WestBred eligible horse foaled after 1st September 2011 will be paid an amount equal to 12.5% of any Westbred owner bonus paid on any 2yo or 3yo races. These amounts are above the WestBred bonus and are not subject to any trainer and/or driver percentages. Please see examples below.

  • Where the total advertised stake is less than $15,000
WestBred Owner Bonus Amount $3,750 WestBred 12.5% Breeder Bonus Amount $468.75
1st $2,550 1st $318.75
2nd $675 2nd $84.38
3rd $338 3rd $42.25
4th $187 4th $23.38
  • Where the total advertised stake is between $15,000 and $20,999
WestBred Owner Bonus Amount $6,250 WestBred 12.5% Breeder Bonus Amount $781.25
1st $4,250 1st $531.25
2nd $1,125 2nd $140.63
3rd $565 3rd $70.62
4th $310 4th $38.75

In the event of a dead-heat for a placing affecting Westbred breeding bonus payments the dollar value paid for the number of places affected will be totaled and divided equally with each eligible dead heater receiving the applicable amount.

ANOTHER ADDITIONAL BONUS PAYMENT FOR OWNERS & BREEDERS!

The race book owner and breeder of a Westbred horse that wins their first race after 1st September 2014 are entitled to a first win bonus payment of $3,000 each. A horse is eligible at any age to receive the first win bonus, it is not just restricted to a 2yo or 3yo race. Note: trainer and driver percentages do not apply to this additional bonus payment. Example below.

Base Stake Westbred Bonus * Westbred Bonus + 1st Win * Double Westbred Double Westbred + 1st Win *
$5,000.00 $9,218.75 $15,218.75 $10,737.50 $16,737.50
$8,500.00 $12,718.75 $18,718.75 $14,237.50 $20,237.50
$20,250.00 $27,281.25 $33,281.25 $32,062.50 $38,062.50

For trainers and drivers of Westbred horses, when an owner is eligible for a bonus it will see them receive their standard percentage of prizemoney (7.5% trainers, 5% drivers) of the bonus amounts for place getters 1st – 3rd.
