Racehorse Owners Association Press Release

We are pleased to announce the re-introduction of added stakes bonus races for ROA members in good standing. The bonus stakes will be made available for all Open Maiden Plates run in 4Racing jurisdictions from January to July 2023. This incentive has a total value R4 Million and the ROA is extremely proud to be able to award our loyal members with this added benefit.

There are 247 eligible races with R15 000 each in Added Stakes Bonuses to be claimed by ROA Members. Furthermore, on selected feature days in the coming months we have introduced “Super Bonus Races”, where an extra R25 000 in bonus stakes will be made available on top of the R15 000 already pledged. These will be allocated to Maiden Plates run our premier feature race days, namely;

The bonuses will be paid together with the winning stakes to ROA Members in good standing. Should the winner be owned in partnership, both or all parties will have to be ROA Members in good standing to qualify for the full bonus. Failing this, the bonus will be halved. In the case of syndicates or companies, only the nominees of such entities need to be ROA Members to receive the full bonus. One would need to be a member of the Racehorse Owners Association for a period of at least 7 working days to qualify for a bonus cheque. Applications may take up to 7 working days to process.
