This announcement is highlighted by almost $9 million of increases in prizemoney for country race meetings to be applied across all sectors of country racing including non-TAB and picnic races.
Minimum prizemoney for country non-TAB races will increase to $10,000 and $24,000 for country TAB meetings.
Country Sky2 races will increase to $15,000.
Racing NSW also announced a new $100,000 Midway Race to be added to metropolitan Saturday race meetings, exclusively for horses from small to mid-sized NSW metropolitan and provincial stables.
A point scoring system will be applied to such trainers based on the number and level of race of winners trained by them in the previous year to see if they meet the mid-size category.
Prizemoney for TAB Highway races (which are for country domiciled horses only) will also be increased to $100,000.
