Iskander Racing have announced the registered purchaser of a yearling by Honours List at the 2006 Magic Millions Sale will receive a million dollar bonus from Iskander Racing if the yearling wins the 2007 Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic.

In a formal press release Sheriff Iskander, Managing Director of Iskander Racing stated that “The million dollar bonus is an incredible incentive to catch the notice of buyers who may not readily recognise the name Honours List."

Lucrative bonuses seem popular at the moment. Scone-based Kitchwin Hills introduced the concept when they recently announced a major incentive for all breeders sending mares to Dane Shadow (Danehill-Slight Chance, by Centaine) in his first season at stud. Every foal in Dane Shadow's 1st crop will be eligible to race for bonuses worth $700 000 to be shared equally between the owner, breeder & trainer. A $100,000 bonus will apply to each of the season-opening 2YO races in 2008 at Royal Randwick in Sydney: the Gimcrack Stakes for fillies & Breeders Plate for the males; in addition, if 1 of Dane Shadow's progeny wins the 2009 Golden Slipper, a $500,000 bonus will also apply.
