Do you mean for 2010?

Charles Town pays a bonus on WVBRED 2009 winnings in mid February 2010. Mountaineer also pays a much higher bonus but I did not race up there last year.

Last Feburay 15, 2009 the combined owner.breeder WVBRED bonus, on 2008 winnings at Charles Town was around 30%

We should be getting ours in the next day or two - I will let you know what it works out to percentage wise. What they told us is that they have the money in a lump sum, and the % depends on the number of people they have to pay out to - in effect they would not know what % the payout would be til they calculate the recipient end of things. They sent out confirmation sheets in Dec, to insure that everyone got proper credit for their WV breds that ran at MNR.

Thanks Jessi P

Charles Town checks are usually sent out 0n 02/15 and I assumed the word would have leaked by now.

Last year CT paid a combined owner/breeder bonus of around 30% but the rumor for Mountaineer was 135% for 2009.

Well Griff our WV bred money came today but they didn't designate what percentage the payout it was. I will ask around tomorrow morning at the track and see if anyone there knows the exact percentage.

One bad thing - our money for WV bred races completely ran out in November - after beginning the fiscal year July 1. So from July to Nov 2009 we had WV bred races, now nothing til July 1 2010.

I recived my check today also, and while they did not desiginate a % they did tell me how much my check was for and the winnings they used to determine the amount and it looks about 26% to me..

not as good as last year but things should improve this summer when table gambling comes into full swing..
