This announcement comes on top of the already announced $27 million per annum of prizemoney increases in NSW commencing on 1 August 2023.

“Racing NSW already pays out $58 million in prizemoney for maiden races per annum and now with Super Maidens this will take it to $64.5 million per annum,” said Racing NSW Chairman Mr Russell Balding AO.

“The Super Maidens will enable owners to recoup a larger share of their outlay with their horse’s first race win,” Mr Balding AO added.
