17 BREEDER S AWARDS As a courtesy to the I.T.B.O.F. the following information is offered. A Breeder s Award is earned when an Illinois-Registered Thoroughbred wins any race in the State of Illinois. The owner s share of the Breeder s Award is 11.5% of the winner s share of the base purse. The WINNER S SHARE of any race in Illinois is normally 60% of the purse. The BASE PURSE is the amount put up by the purse account and does not include any funds added by the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders Fund, horsemen, Breeders Cup, etc. Open Races - In an open race, the entire Breeder s Award (11.5% of the winner s share of the base purse) goes to the breeder of the winning horse (the winner s share in an open race may also include part of an OWNER S AWARD, if earned, paid from the purse account). As an example, we will say that the base purse of an open allowance race is $22,000. The base purse times 60% equals the winner s share. The winner s share times 11.5% equals the Breeder s Award. Base Purse $22,000 X Winner s Share (60%) = $13,200 X 11.5% = Award $ 1,518 Illinois Races - In a race restricted to Illinois Registered horses, the Breeder s Award (11.5% of the winner s share of the base purse) is divided among the first four place finishers. The winner gets 60% of the Award; second, 20%; third, 15%; and fourth, 5%. Again, as an example, we will use an allowance race, this time restricted to Illinois Registered horses. The base purse of this race is $20,000. The base purse times 60% equals the winner s share. The winner s share times 11.5% equals the Breeder s Award.
