- Won a 2YO only race
- Won any other race, only if they were nominated in a 2YO only race and were subsequently balloted out of that 2YO only race.

4YO – If a 4YO horse has not won a bonus as a 2YO or 3YO, the bonus is payable upon the horse’s first win in NSW
5YO and older – Provided a 5YO and older horse has not won a bonus as a 2YO, 3YO or 4YO and the first win is in NSW and the horse was sustained as either a 2YO or 3YO the bonus will be paid.
