In 2023, Racing Queensland (RQ) announced changes for the scheme, for all foals sired by a Queensland stallion and born in 2022 and beyond, scrapping nominations fees thus making it the only bonus scheme in the nation to be offered free of charge.
Two and three-year-old Saturday metropolitan winners continue to enjoy prize money boosts across the board courtesy of the scheme, with QTIS registered fillies winner’s purse of $85,550 and colts & geldings $73,300 now applicable.
The scheme will now offer four-year-old QTIS bonus prize money on a number of Saturday and mid-week metropolitan races, as well as lucrative provincial and non-TAB racing across the state for 4YO+ horses.
QTISx will continue to offer bonuses on all black-type and feature races across the state, with connections able to choose between the cash bonus or double its value as a voucher to be used towards the cost of a QTIS-eligible horse at selected sales.
