The opening of Santa Anita Park‘s Traditional Meet on Dec. 26 marks the return of the favored Ship & Win program, which provides vital bonuses to horses from out of state who ship in and begin at The Nice Race Place.
In the course of the 49-day Traditional Meet, Santa Anita will present eligible shippers with a assured $4,000 bonus for his or her first begin (first-time starters excluded) plus a further purse bonus. Eligible Ship & Win horses who end first via fifth in a mud race will obtain a 50-percent bonus to the listed purse cash earned. In turf races, Ship & Win horses will obtain a 40 p.c bonus. The purse bonuses are relevant for one begin solely.
“Santa Anita’s Ship & Win program supplies an exquisite incentive for horsemen and helps to draw a major variety of horses from out of state,” mentioned Jason Egan, Santa Anita director of racing and racing secretary. “We imagine Santa Anita provides the perfect turf racing in America through the Traditional and Hollywood Meets.”
Santa Anita’s Traditional Meet runs via April 6. It is going to be adopted by the 29-day Hollywood Meet, which opens April 16 and ends June 15.
