The NSW racing incentive scheme known as BOBS (Breeder Owner Bonus Scheme) had three winners at headquarters, with each galloper picking up a cool $10,000 bonus on top of the normal prizemoney.

Delighted owner Mr Peter Loaring was overjoyed with his debutante Mystical Lad (by Canny Lad) who was the first bonus winner, earning Mr Loaring and his wife Karen, a BOBS $10,000 bonus which is added to the $13,000 winner’s cheque.

"The $10,000 bonus certainly makes the $660 nomination fee look pretty cheap," he declared.

Trainer Tony Wildman was also jubilant, saying: "He’s an immature type of youngster but is all racehorse and its lovely to pick up an extra $10,000 from BOBS."

Woodlands Stud was the second recipient of a BOBS $10,000 bonus when Cataclysm (by Marauding) scored at her first start in the very next race.

And two races later, impressive filly Durrah (by Langfuhr) added a BOBS $10,000 bonus to her prizemoney haul for owner His Excellency Nasser Lootah.

BOBS is open to NSW-trained three-year-olds whose sire is among the 43 stallions nominated for the scheme. Racehorse nominations for BOBS close on Monday, 30 September 2002.
