VOBIS Champions of the Season

Media Release - Tuesday August 23

Another year of racing has passed by and it has been a lucrative one for Victorian breeders and their horses signed up to VOBIS.

More than $20 million was on offer through Super VOBIS and VOBIS Gold including the 15 races of the $2.8 million VOBIS Gold Premier race series. In 2016/2017 racing season this will grow once more with the inclusion of the $300,000 VOBIS Sires race for two-year-olds.

TBV has compiled tables outlining the winners of the most VOBIS bonuses and VOBIS Gold Premier Race Series prizemoney throughout the season.

If you are a Victorian breeder, or an interstate breeder using Victorian sires, it is critical you sign your horses up to Super VOBIS (as yearlings) and VOBIS Gold (as early 2yos). For 2014 foals, VOBIS Gold nominations close on Wednesday 31 August. More information at: owner.racing.com or phone 1300139 401
