Plenty of greyhounds in running for $10,000 Winter Carnival Bonuses at Albion Park
The Winter Carnival Bonus is an exciting addition to the greyhound racing landscape in Queensland with plenty of greyhounds pre-qualified to be in the running for the $10,000 bonus payout in the heats of the 2023 Brisbane Cup or Queensland Cup at Albion Park next Thursday night.
As the Queensland Winter Carnival gets into full swing, this innovative prize structure is adding an additional layer of thrill to the proceedings.
The initiative, announced by Racing Queensland (RQ), rewards greyhounds that have shown exceptional performance in the lead-up events to the Queensland Winter Carnival.
Any greyhound that secures a first, second, or third place in select Carnival lead-up races, including the likes of the Flying Amy Classic Final, Carnival Chase Final, Dashing Corsair Final, State Of Origin Sprint, State Of Origin Distance, State Of Origin Match Race, Super Stayers Invitational, and Brisbane Cup Preludes, are eligible for a prizemoney bonus of $10,000 each.
This lucrative bonus is claimed by the greyhound if it subsequently wins a heat of either the Group 1 Brisbane Cup or the Group 1 Queensland Cup.
The selection of the qualified greyhounds has been completed, with the notable contenders listed, ready for the thrilling chase of the Winter Carnival Bonus.
As the greyhounds gear up for the upcoming Winter Carnival Cup, the added bonus promises to amplify the excitement. This bonus, woven into the rich tapestry of Queensland's greyhound racing history, is a testament to the sport's continual evolution and the ongoing commitment to celebrating and rewarding excellence.
