A virtuous system to help our Breeders: more than €20 million distributed per year!

The French racing industry is also committed to the sustaining and the development of its breeders. The breeders’ premium system is different whether the horse races on the flat or over jumps. However, in both cases a minimum of 14% premiums is distributed to French-bred or assimilated French-bred horses’ breeders.These premiums are calculated on the basis of the prize-money plus the owners’ premium!
