Training Fees
A Singapore-based trainer would charge a monthly basic training fee per horse. There will be an additional charge for veterinary fees, farrier fees and other incidentals which the trainer may feel are necessary. All these charges are billed at cost.
Please contact the trainer of your choice for details of monthly training fees.
Revised REWARD Incentive Scheme
The Singapore Turf Club (the “Club”) will be revising the REWARD Incentive Scheme and these changes will take effect from 1 April 2023.
Through the REWARD Incentive Scheme, the Club provides a performance-based incentive to the owner, trainer and syce of a Singapore-based horse based on the results of a horse in a race. The Club provides the incentive in the form of a "credit rebate" in the amount charged by the Club to trainers.
Under the revised REWARD Incentive Scheme, the “credit rebate” amount provided to the Owner will be set-off against the Trainer’s monthly bill issued by the Club to the Trainer. Trainers will work with Owners to ensure that the rebate is passed on to the Owner in the Trainer’s monthly bill to the Owner. This scheme is to help lower the cost of maintaining horses in Singapore.
The qualifying criteria for horses under the REWARD incentive scheme is as follows:
| Qualifying Criteria | Credit Rebate | |
| Reward Incentive (Owner) | 2nd to 8th Placing | $800 |
| Reward Incentive (Trainer) | 2nd to 8th Placing | $250 |
| Reward Incentive (Syce) | 2nd to 8th Placing | $50 |
With effect from 1 August 2023, the Singapore Turf Club will revise its REWARD Incentive Scheme as follows:
| Qualifying Criteria | Credit Rebate | |
| Reward Incentive (Owner) | 2nd to 10th Placing | $800 |
| Reward Incentive (Trainer) | 2nd to 10th Placing | $500 |
| Reward Incentive (Syce) | 2nd to 10th Placing | $100 |
