A fresh horse incentive program has been introduced at Hastings Racecourse, designed to increase the horse population. The following are the rules and eligibility criteria for 2016:
• Up to $1,000 will be paid to cover actual shipping costs.
• An additional $3,000 will be paid to the horse owner after the first start at Hastings Racecourse, providing the owner has made a commitment to race the horse at Hastings only until the end of the season and has agreed to leave the horses’ papers in the race office for the duration of the 2016 season.
