Indiana Bred Awards Overview
Beginning in 2009, all owner, breeder, and stallion owner awards will be calculated on the gross purse (total purse) and no longer on just the base purse. All owner and breeder awards will be 20% of the gross purse with the stallion owner award being 10% of the gross purse. The owner award for the programs claiming races, equal to or greater than $10,000, is an increase from 15% in prior years. We have also removed the maximum cap of $10,000 per award which allows the owner and breeder awards to expand to $14,000 in the restricted stakes program.
For other parts of the program, we made some minor adjustments to the Out-of-State Breeder Award and the Open Race Awards. The minimum level race to qualify for the out-of-state breeder award is being adjusted slightly upward to a condition greater than or equal to a claiming price of $10,000. Prior to 2009, the minimum level to qualify for this award was above a claiming price of $7,500. The out-of-state breeder award will now available for two-year olds racing any time prior to the start of the Hoosier Park meet as opposed to the prior cut off of July 1st in years past.
