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.
REWARD Incentive Scheme
Under the scheme, an incentive will be paid to Owner of a Singapore-based horse in the form of a "credit rebate" of $1,350 per horse (WEF 1 April 2019), except owners of the 4th last placed horse to 2nd last placed horse who will receive "credit rebate" of $450 instead. The "credit rebate" amount due to the Owner will be used to offset against his horse's monthly training bill and the Owner will only be billed the balance by his Trainer. This scheme is to help lower the cost of keeping horses in Singapore.
The qualifying criteria for horses under the REWARD incentive scheme is as follows:
| Number of Starters | Qualifying Horses |
|---|---|
| 2nd placing to 5th last | $1,350 |
| 4th last to 2nd last | $450 |
With effect from 1 April 2021, the Reward Incentive Scheme will also be restructured to reflect performance-based results. Owners, Trainers and Syces will be rewarded from 2nd to 8th placings. The revised Reward Incentive Scheme as follows:
| Present Amount | Revised Amount | |
| Reward Incentive (Owner) | 2nd to 5th last - $1,350
4th last to 2nd last - $450 |
2nd to 8th placing - $600 |
| Reward Incentive (Trainer) | 2nd to 5th last - $400 | 2nd to 8th placing - $200 |
| Reward Incentive (Syce) | 2nd to 5th last - $35 | 2nd to 8th placing - $35 |
