Racing in NSW has received a shot in the arm with the announcement of a $20 million prize money injection and the addition of a new race type to Sydney Saturday programs.
The annual boost in stakes, unveiled by Racing NSW on Wednesday, will be spread across country and metropolitan racing.
It includes the creation of $100,000 Midway Races, which will be open to horses trained out of small to mid-sized city and metropolitan stables.
The Midway Races will be added to Saturday metropolitan programs from July 1 with eligibility determined by the number of winners a trainer has produced in the preceding 12 months, and the level of the victories.
