Ship & Win

Start a runner at Del Mar, who last ran out of state, to take advantage of the Ship & Win program this fall.
 
  • $3,000 Starter Bonus for FIRST start.
  • 30% Purse Bonus for EVERY start.
Out of state horses are eligible to participate in Del Mar's substantial Ship & Win incentives aimed to both increase runners & horse population in California. 
 

RULES AND ELIGIBILITY

  • Guaranteed $3,000 check for any qualified starter in their first start. Stakes races included. 
  • 30% bonus applied to qualified horse's purse earnings for every start of the fall meet. Excluding stakes races. 
  • Purse Bonus applies to earnings for places 1 - 5. If an eligible horse is acquired after its initial S&W start, the original owner will receive purse bonuses from subsequent starts through the fall meet. 
  • Horses must not have raced in California for the last 12 months, regardless of ownership changes. Horses stabled in California that travel out of state to make a qualifying start are not eligible. First-time starters do not qualify. 
  • Purse bonuses will extend to a horse that makes its initial Ship & Win start at Santa Anita Autumn meet. 
  • DMTC reserves the right to determine eligibility for qualified starters. Excludes Breeders' Cup race days November 1 & November 2, 2024.
