ThoroughBid to Offer £30,000 All-Weather Challenge

The £30,000 All-Weather Challenge was announced by ThoroughBid on Wednesday. The new incentive applies to all horses sold in ThoroughBid's upcoming All-Weather Sale on Jan. 16, who will then have the opportunity to earn points across the UK and Ireland's six winter Flat tracks until Apr. 28th. A win is worth 10 points, a second is four points and there is one point offered for a third-place finish. At the end of the challenge, the horse on top of the leaderboard will earn connections a £20,000 bonus, with the runner-up getting £7,500 and the third-place horse gets £2,500.

James Richardson, Managing Director of ThoroughBid, said, “We're delighted to offer up another incentive-led sale on the back of our Point2Rules Bonus announcement last week, which has gone down really well in the Jumps community.

“We're confident that this challenge will be met with open arms as well, and as a team sponsor in the inaugural Racing League this year, we saw the importance of all-weather initiatives.

“It's going to be exciting to be able to follow the leaderboard early next year as new connections from the All-Weather Sale will be vying for a share of that £30,000.”
