Potential Breeder Bonus
Taking the Breederbonus into account — what would the impact be? (The Breederbonus is a concept proposal whereby a portion of the prize money is gradually allocated to the breeder, based on the level at which the horse competes. It is a recognition of the breeder's role in the sporting cycle. The higher the level at which the horse is active, the higher the percentage contributed.)
