Southland 91 Report post Posted August 13, 2018 You have to take your had of to Darley and the ATC - the Aussies do this well. Yet another initiative to assist breeders & owners with significant marketing rub off for the sponsors. https://www.australianturfclub.com.au/darley-atc-elevate-spring-princess-series-royal-randwick/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Zip 468 Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Yep, I made the mistake of paying up for 2 horses for the Pearl series bonus. As they are in the SI, it’s been a complete waste of money. I have 2 more for,this season and I’ve given it a miss. Yes, the bonus systems in Oz are of great benefit, whether it’s QTIS or VOBIS. Even BOBS has its advantages...but Pearl? It’s seems it’s skewed towards the top part of the North Island where the bulk of the “influence” sits. Dwyn 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a complete waste of time really and why does it only go till end of 4yo year , skewed to an area and a certain type of horse. I would have thought NZ needs one just completely for the fairer sex no matter age or location. La Zip and Dwyn 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
