Reminder : 2YO Bonus Scheme

HRNZ would like to remind everyone of the Terms and Conditions of the Two-Year-Old Bonus Scheme ("TYOBS”) for the 2025 season.

The TYOBS is funded by Entain NZ. The purpose of this scheme is to support breeding and encourage owners and trainers to race two-year-olds.

In 2025 HRNZ will pay a one-off first win bonus on top of the race stake of $12,000 for every 2YO’s first win. The bonus will be split: $8,000 to the registered owner/lessee and $4,000 to the registered breeding entity (breeder) as per HRNZ records.

The bonus will be paid for two-year-old race wins only. The $6,000 variations introduced after the initial 2024 announcement have been discontinued.

For any enquiries about the TYOBS please contact cameron@hrnz.co.nz
