Plus 10 is an industry-funded bonus scheme for Irish Flat thoroughbred owners and breeders which pays €12,500 bonuses to qualified two and three-year-old winners of Plus 10 races. The bonus is shared between a horse’s registered owner, the payers of the scheme’s first two registration stages – typically the breeder and in some cases pinhooker – and trainer, jockey and stable staff.

Full information on eligible horses and the bonus races can be found on www.plus10bonus.com  

This bonus scheme, which is open to all un-raced 3-year-old fillies or over, rewards the owners of all eligible fillies who win their maidens with a €5,000 bonus. With 94 such races scheduled during 2017, it provides payments of €5,000 to the winning owner of qualified fillies/mares. It is open to winners of mares-only maiden bumpers, maiden hurdles or beginners chases, giving each owner the potential to win a total €15,000 in addition to the winning prize-money.

Participating owners will receive a £25,000 bonus if their October Book 1 purchase wins an ‘Open’ two year old maiden in Ireland. All yearlings sold, bought in or failing to meet their reserve at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale will be eligible for the huge bonuses which looks set to provide even more incentives for owners and trainers.
