Santa Anita will again offer its Ship & Win Program to provide bonuses to connections of horses brought in from other states to race at the Arcadia oval at its upcoming meet which opens Dec. 26.
“Simply put, the Ship & Win program is a winner,” said Santa Anita Director of Racing and Racing Secretary Chris Merz. “Santa Anita is a great place to train and race in the winter and with these bonuses in place for out-of-state horses, it's made us even more attractive to many owners and trainers around the country.
“Field size is always a top priority and with Ship & Win bolstering our inventory, we're in a better position to present an attractive product for our players to bet on. We're optimistic for the new year and we encourage anyone with questions to please give us a call.”
Eligible Ship & Win horses will receive a $5,000 bonus, as well as purse money at 35% above their allotted purse percentage for one start. Horses which became eligible at the 2022 Del Mar Crosby Season Meet will also be eligible for Ship & Win bonuses in their first start at Santa Anita's upcoming Classic Meeting.
The $5,000 bonus will also apply to any stakes horse that meets Ship & Win eligibility guidelines, but those horses will not be eligible for the 35% purse increase.
Santa Anita's Classic Meet condition book is available online at santaanita.com and in print form in the Santa Anita Racing Office.
