“The £25,000 Book 1 Bonus is consistently on our minds when buying at October Book 1. It’s a huge incentive to all involved, especially for those horses that cost less than the average.”
Alex Elliott
“I love winning the £25,000 October Book 1 Bonuses! The incentive adds a huge amount to the prizemoney and goes a long way to paying for the training fees for the year.”
Mark Chan
“The Book 1 Bonus is a phenomenal thing. That £25,000 makes a massive difference, if you’re buying a yearling that looks like it can win at two, it genuinely feels like you’re knocking £25,000 off the purchase price.”
