The nomination forms will be sent to the trainers on Monday 3rd December.

Horses need to be pre-entered to qualify for the races at a nominal fee of R50 plus VAT with first nominations closing on Friday, December 14, 2012. Early entry ensures that all horses nominated can be timeously checked to ensure that they qualify as KZN breds. However, there will be a further supplementary entry stage on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 with a supplementary fee of R2 000 plus VAT.

To qualify for the races, points will be awarded in the months leading up to the racemeeting. Horses registered at first entry will receive a 4-point bonus but horses supplemented in April will not qualify for the bonus.

Points for Maiden races will be awarded on a 4, 3, 2 basis for first, second and third. All other races, including Grade 1’s, will have points awarded from first to fifth on 8, 6, 4, 3, 1 basis.

Points will be awarded regardless of the distance of the races and it will be up to the connections of the horses as to which races they nominate for. The intention is to publish a points log on a fortnightly basis which will appear on kznbreeders.co.za.

Although run on the same day, the KZN Breeders Million Mile is excluded from the early nomination and points initiative, following the normal nomination processes. The KZN Breeders Million Mile will be for three and four year olds, based on suitable Merit Ratings.

The six supporting races will be two races each over 1200m, 1600m and 1900m, one each for fillies, mares, colts and geldings for three year olds and up, respectively. The races will be open to all horses country-wide whose credentials meet the criteria of “KZN bred” as prescribed by the rules of the KZN Breeders premium scheme.

To enquire whether your horse is a "KZN-bred" (registered with the KZN Breeders Premium Scheme) in order to qualify for entry into the races on KZN Breeders Race Day, please contact candiese@kznbreeders.co.za for any queries.
