Motivation From a Horse

The horse that dares 
to jump the fence, 
with gallant gait and stride;

will be the horse, 
to enjoy the spoils 
that await on the other side.

Love this and my little girl has used this in her class of 4 and 5 year olds! Her choice, although I'm not convinced she fully understands the sentiment but does suit her personality. Question, what exactly are the spoils? I thought they were the straights/flats after a jump on a race course but my partner disagrees. Please enlighten me :-)
