Stakes distribution

19 February 2020
Dear Trainers,
The Racing Association has taken a decision to change the distribution of stakes in all races run in Phumelela regions (Highveld, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape).
With effect from 1 March 2020, the winning portion of the race stake will be increased from 58% to 60% and redistributed to pay down to 6th place instead of 10th place as follows:
1st - 60% 2nd - 20% 3rd - 10% 4th - 5% 5th - 3% 6th - 2%
Yours sincerely
Aveen Sewpersad
National Racing Bureau Manager

What or who drives these decisions? Unbelievable.

fiddle while Rome burns
To do something trivial and irresponsible in the midst of an emergency; legend has it that while a fire destroyed the city of Rome, the emperor Nero played his violin, thus revealing his total lack of concern for his people and his empire.
