The financial incentive of racing a QTIS-bred filly in Queensland exceeds that of any other bonus scheme in Australia. Here’s why.
A QTIS filly has the potential to earn almost $80k by winning a standard Saturday metropolitan race – equivalent to that of a Group 3 race in Sydney!
The table below highlights the lucrative QTIS prizemoney on offer.

Another aspect of QTIS that separates it from other incentives is that bonus prizemoney is also allocated to 2nd and 3rd placegetters.
Furthermore, the recently introduced QTISx scheme awards cash bonuses or vouchers to the winners of black type races and selected feature races.

Finally, QTIS registered horses can race for huge prizemoney in events restricted to QTIS horses only:
- $1 million QTIS race on Magic Millions day
- $500k QTIS 2yo Jewel at Gold Coast in March
- $300k QTIS 3yo Jewel at Gold Coast in March
- Double prizemoney for QTIS horses that win any of the support card races on the Jewel raceday
- $105k Northern 3yo Jewel in April
- Feature races restricted to QTIS horses during QLD carnivals, including the $200k QTIS Gold Jewel on Oaks Day.
So the reasons for racing QTIS-registered horses, particularly fillies, are obvious!
Proven Thoroughbreds went into this year’s QTIS sale with a deliberate plan to purchase solely fillies with precocious pedigrees and we were lucky enough to secure the following:
SPILL THE BEANS x M’INDIGO filly
BETTER THAN READY x HANAAN filly
SPIRIT OF BOOM x CLASSIC GUITAR filly
FURNACES x BOVESPA filly
We have since decided to offer this quartet of fillies in a package deal.
>>> 5% share in each of the 4 fillies = $7,000 (valued at $8,500!)
>>> 2.5% share in each of the 4 fillies = $3,500 (valued at $4,250!)
