Baileys No.10 Racehorse Mix 20kg – Premium Nutrition for Peak Performance

Baileys No.10 Racehorse Mix – 20kg

No.10 is Baileys' oat-based racing mix and the most energy-dense feed in the range at 14 MJ/kg. Bruised oats sit alongside micronised wheat, maize, peas and soya beans, and soya oil takes total oil to 8.5% so that not every calorie has to come out of grain.

Starch is 32%, which is what fast work needs and what a resting horse does not. Digest Plus scFOS prebiotic goes in at 2.5g/kg to support the hindgut against that starch load, and the mix is fully balanced with calcium at 1% and phosphorus at 0.5%. Supplied in 20kg.

Performance & Benefits

• 14 MJ/kg — the highest energy density in the Baileys range.
• Bruised oats plus micronised wheat, maize and peas for fast-release energy.
• 8.5% oil, so a share of the calories comes from oil rather than starch alone.
• 13% protein from soya bean meal, micronised soya beans and distillers' grains.
• Digest Plus scFOS prebiotic at 2.5g/kg.
• Fully balanced: calcium 1%, phosphorus 0.5%, vitamins and minerals included.

Suitable For

• Racehorses in moderate to hard work.
• Horses needing quick-release energy and power rather than slow-release stamina.
• Trainers who prefer a mix to a cube and want batch-to-batch consistency.
• Eventers and point-to-pointers in full work.
• Far too much energy for a horse in light work, and wrong for a laminitic — Baileys No.2 Working Cubes or No.24 Ease & Excel Cubes are the sensible steps down.

Feeding

• Feed by weight alongside forage. One level Stubbs round bowl scoop holds about 1.5kg of mix.
• Baileys cap a meal at 0.5kg of mix per 100kg bodyweight — 2.5kg for a 500kg horse.
• Total meal size should stay within 1.5–2kg for a horse or 1.25–1.5kg for a pony, chaff and beet pulp included.
• At racing quantities, split the daily ration across three or four feeds.
• Baileys publish their per-workload rates on the bag rather than online; their nutrition team will set one.

Care & Caution

• Starch is 32%. Not suitable for a horse with laminitis, insulin resistance, PPID or a history of tying-up.
• Keep to Baileys' 0.5kg per 100kg bodyweight per meal. Large cereal meals are the route to hindgut acidosis.
• Cut the ration back on rest days. A horse held on racing energy while standing in is a classic tying-up risk.
• Introduce it over two to three weeks rather than switching in a day.
