Appearance Money Scheme update

As communicated previously, the Appearance Money Scheme will close in 2023, with minimum prize money levels increased by £700 and paid to at least fifth place in those races where appearance money was previously available.

However, a new Sunday-only appearance money scheme will be introduced from 1 January 2023.

Every runner on a Sunday will receive £100 to assist with the additional costs of transporting and running horses, and to support the VAT registration scheme for racehorse owners.

The £100 Sunday appearance money scheme will not be paid as prize money and will instead be managed as a separate transaction with Weatherbys
