THE Bahrain Turf Club has increased prize money for the 2022 Bahrain International Trophy and the 2022/’23 Bahrain Turf Series by 20%.

Total prize money for the Group 3 Bahrain International Trophy has gone up to £600,000 for 2022, a £100,000 increase from last year. Meanwhile, each of the 10 Bahrain Turf Series races will now be run for £60,000 per race, up from £50,000 last season.

The Bahrain International Trophy, which was first run in 2019 as a conditions race, was upgraded to Group 3 status for the first time last year with Lord Glitters narrowly beating Barney Roy in the 10-furlong contest.

The 10-race series is open to horses rated between 85-100 and starts again on December 9th. There are five racedays in the series, ending on February 17th.
