Qualifying Rules
Resident mares and non-resident mares
The rules are simple and effectively create two categories of mares: resident and non-resident. To qualify for registration as a New York-bred, the mare must FOAL in New York State and meet the domicile requirements specified below.
Resident Mares: Must be continuously in residence in New York State from within 90 days after last cover in the year of conception, and thereafter remain in residence until FOALING the following year, with no breed-back required.
Non-Resident Mares: Must FOAL in New York State, be BRED BACK to a registered New York-based stallion, and remain for a continuous period of 90 days after foaling. For further information, contact the Fund Registrar at (518) 580-0100.
