BOBS “Whilst racehorse owners receive the lion’s share of the bonuses under the BOBS scheme, breeders also benefit in several ways, as do trainers and jockeys.” – Les Young, representative of RIPAC. For more than a decade, breeders and owners have been demanding a bonus scheme to rival that of some of those interstate. Last year the Board of Racing NSW put in place BOBS (Breeder Owner Bonus Scheme). Whilst many were quick to condemn the initiative, the Board firmly believed in ‘getting the scheme out there’ and moulding it into shape with regular consultation with industry stakeholders. Now, with the initial BOBS scheme finishing in August 2003, BOBS has been significantly revamped following further consultation. The end result is the inclusion of twoyear-olds, and the country now having been added to the scheme (TAB races). Other alterations include the addition of a 12.5% stallion nominator bonus, staggered payments to avoid cash flow implications, alignment with conception season, and a Management Committee including breeders and owners. In the coming season BOBS is geared to pay bonuses totalling $4million with bonuses available on over 4,000 NSW city, provincial and country races. These bonuses are $5,000, $10,000 or $20,000 on each win at any NSW TAB meeting. For a horse to be eligible, its sire must have stood in NSW and have paid its Sire Contribution to the scheme. BOBS is designed to encourage people that race in NSW to breed and race the progeny of NSW stallions. It is also designed to encourage NSW owners to race NSW-bred horses in preference to those bred interstate. The scheme distributed $1.96million during the period 1 August 2002 to 30 June 2003. Broodmare owners and buyers racing in NSW can’t afford not to be in BOBS. Why would anyone race for less? 13
