Makeover Incentive Offers
The Retired Racehorse Project does not guarantee any of the incentives listed below, nor is party to any transaction. Individual organizations are responsible for managing incentive payments and prizes. The Retired Racehorse Project lists known incentive offers here as a courtesy. Makeover trainers are responsible for contacting the sponsors of incentives to claim refunds or stipends.
Incentives should not be confused with special awards, which are added prize monies awarded at the Thoroughbred Makeover based on preliminary placings. Learn more about special awards here.
