The continuing upsurge in orders for our second visit means that the TROTBritain Le TROT 3 year old series looks likely to pay out £100,000 in heats and finals.
Finals (to be run at Tir Prince on September 9th): Guaranteed £60,000
The winner of the £30,000 Final (Tir Prince Raceway Gold Le Trot) will receive £15,000. The Silver Final will be worth £20,000 (£10,000 to winner). Subject to entries, a Bronze final will be run and be worth £10,000 (£5,000 to winner). If the Bronze is not run, its money will be reallocated to the Gold and Silver So a guaranteed minimum of £60,000 will be paid out on the night. (A consolation event will also be run, if justified, to ensure everyone can be part of the action).
Heats
The prize money in the heats will vary with the field size. At the moment, with at least 40 horses expected to be eligible to compete in the series, we are estimating a total heats purse of £40,000, making the entire series worth £100,000. The net cost of running in the heats, carded regularly from May until early September, will be zero. The Finals fields will be decided on monies won in the series, ignoring the payouts of £150 which go to all unplaced horses.
