Maiden race winners to receive P10K added prize

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Racing Commission recently passed a resolution mandating an additional prize of P10,000 to the winners of all maiden races.

Previously, the practice was to award the additional prize money only to the winners of 2YO or 3YO maiden races. Resolution No. 32-16 of April 20 extends the bonus to the winners of all maiden races, effective immediately.

“In the interest of fairness and equality,” said Philracom chairman Andrew Sanchez, “the Commission deemed it proper to give the bonus to all winners of maiden races regardless of age. We trust that this incentive will serve as an encouragement to race participants and boost the sustainability of the sport.”

Sanchez also announced that Philracom is conducting the third session of a blood drive on May 29 at San Lazaro Leisure Park in cooperation with the Philippine Red Cross.

The event is among the Philracom’s social responsibility programs. All members of the racing and breeding industry and their families are requested to support the endeavor.
