NZB Insurance Advisor Jim Bruford is eager to further support owners through the incentive.

“We realise that over the past three months, owners have had to incur costs over the lockdown, despite being unable to race their fillies or mares,” he said.

“In partnership with NZTR, we want to acknowledge owners and the countless support we have received from them.

“We came up with the idea of a compensatory payment for registered horses who finish second in any Pearl Series bonus race.

“Having sponsored the series for seven years, we are delighted to further contribute to the fillies and mares racing program and are excited to see what’s in store for the coming month.”

NZTR Chief Executive Bernard Saundry fully backs the new complementary bonus.

“NZTR are pleased to support the one-off initiative and believe it is vital to recognise the contribution owners have made over the past few months,” he said.

Since its inauguration, the NZB Insurance Pearl Series bonus scheme has seen millions of dollars paid out to Southern Hemisphere-bred filly and mare owners, breeders, trainers and nominators making it an integral part of the New Zealand racing industry.
