The NSW prize money structure is the best in the country, perhaps the world, at the moment and each race will usually result in a prize money payment.
The prize money allocation for each race is published with the race fields. The owners receive 83% of the purse.
Stakes payments are made directly from Racing NSW to each owner fortnightly according to the below schedule:
Races between 1st and 15th of the month are paid around the 19th
Races between the 16th and the end of the month are paid around the 4th
If your horse wins and you are on course, there may be a trophy presentation, photo opportunity and a complementary drink to enjoy while watching the race replay, depending on which track your horse races at.
Winning photos are available for purchase through Bradley Photos.
We find the owners that get the most out of their racing are those that come to the track on raceday. Many Thorotek owners have become great friends, meeting up regularly to cheer their horses on.
