The Dunstan Accumulator Trainer’s Bonus is a great incentive for Trainers to travel north to Ruakaka with their stayers at the start of the new 2022/23 racing season. There are $180,000 of prize money across the five-race series to entice owners of both the open class and progressive stayers.
CONDITIONS:
If a race is abandoned on the day 1 pt is allocated to each runner. For dead heats the pts will be added together and halved for the two positions (eg 1st and 2nd pts are added so that the two dead heated runners receive 8pts each). In the case of a dead heat of points across the series of races the prize will be shared equally.
