An ‘Eligible TS Horse’ means a horse that satisfies the following criteria when it wins the relevant TS Series Race
Eligibility Requirements
a minimum of 75% of the initial value of the ownership stake sold in that horse by the purchasing trainer /owner was transacted via the TS digital platform payment system; and
if there has been a subsequent sale of any portion of the ownership of that horse, a minimum of 50.1% of the ownership stake in that horse must have been transacted through the TS digital platform payment system; and
the trainer of the horse remains an account holder/subscriber
a TS account relating to the horse is then active (and all fees payable to TS relating to the horse, including the 1% TS Race Series fee and subscription fees, have been paid as and when payable).
In the case a minimum 75% can’t be processed via the TS Digital Platform, Thoroughbred Sales, at its own discretion, can do a manual transaction to meet the minimum 75%
In the case a syndicated horse, in which the account holder has, or is a representative of an AFSL licence and a transaction via the TS Digital Platform is not possible, Thoroughbred Sales at its own discretion, can do a manual transaction to meet the eligibility requirements at a minimum 100% of the initial value to be paid 60 days after the purchase date.
Prize Money
Prizemoney for each Eligible TS Horse winning a TS Race Series race during the 3-year period will be no less than AU$10,000. TS may, in its absolute discretion, elect to pay more prize money at any time for any reason.
Prize Money Payment
TS will be entering into partnerships with one or more state and/or territory thoroughbred racing bodies, pursuant to which we will utilise that racing body’s standard owners payment system to pay out the prize money to the winning connection of TS Race Series races in their state, after receipt of the prize money from us and after that racing body confirms whether an Eligible TS Horse won that race. Unless there is a dispute on eligibility, payment will occur as soon as reasonably practicable.
Prize money payments are also subject to each racing jurisdiction’s rules for prize money payments, including return payments for deemed non-runners past the race date. This includes horses that have returned a positive swab.
