Owners' Bonus Series

Following the British Greyhound Racing Fund budget increases in August 2011, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) was pleased to launch the Owners’ Bonus Series, which is now underway. The initiative, developed by the Board’s Racing Committee is scheduled to run until December 2012 and is expected to be funded to the tune of £1 million.

Each of the 25 GBGB-licensed racecourses will stage a total of 26 Owners’ Bonus Series competitions, comprising heats and a final, for 12 or 18 graded greyhounds. The winner of each final will receive £500 plus a trophy and presentation jacket, with other finalists receiving £100 and a further £100 going to the winning trainer.

The total prize fund for each final totals £1,100 and the standard prize money, saved by the track not funding a race of the grade of the final itself will be added back into graded prize money as increased run and/or win money across the card at a subsequent meeting.

In addition, all GBGB tracks will offer enhanced prize money Christmas events in December 2011 and December 2012 worth a total of £5,000 per track. Tracks will stage 50 graded races over the festive period each with an extra £100 to be distributed across the runners, in addition to regular prize money.
