“With the reduction in racing in 2020, the UK EBF fund has created a small surplus. The Trustees want to ensure that this money is focused on doing what is best for the industry,” said Simon Sweeting, EBF UK President. “This series not only offers attractive bonus amount targets, but also aims to add more weight to the EBF to incentivize owners to reinvest with desirable sales. With no early closing period and over 100 qualifying opportunities for a horse, we hope that owners and trainers will support this new initiative. We are looking forward to two highly competitive finals in the Fall.”
