YEARLINGS

Yearlings sired by an eligible New York stallion registered with the Fund for the full season of service in the year in which the dam was bred, are eligible to nominate to the New York Sire Stakes program.

Foals of mares bred by semen transported inside or outside of New York State are eligible for nomination.

Only the first foal born to the dam in a given year will be eligible for nomination. The only exception to this will be in the case of same-birth twins; to be eligible, a twin status must be indicated on the USTA registration certificate for the individuals in question.

Yearlings must be named and registered with the U.S. Trotting Association at the time of nomination (May 15) and a copy of the registration certificate must accompany the nomination.


STALLIONS

To be eligible a stallion must be registered with the Fund for the breeding year. The cost of registration is 25% of the stud fee (maximum $5,000) or $200 for those stallions standing for $1,000 or less. The Fund requests that returning stallions register by November 15 of the year preceding the breeding year in question. The last date to register a stallion is January 1 of the breeding year in question. Stallions which have never stood in the state before may be registered up until April 1 by way of a late fee payment.

To be registered with the Fund the stallion must stand the entire stud season in New York and be: owned by a resident of New York State; owned by a resident of a state other than New York but leased for a period of not less than one year to a resident of New York State; owned by a resident(s) of a state other than New York together with a resident(s) of New York State and leased for a period of not less than one year to a resident of New York State; or owned by a syndicate, which if partly consisting of non-New York residents must lease the stallion to a New York resident for a period of not less than one year. Stallions may be leased to the New York farm where they will be standing to qualify for the "leased to a New York resident" requirement. All leases must be filed with the Fund at the time of registration.

Stallions enrolled for the designated breeding season must be standing for stud service on the designated farm not later than January 1. Enrolled stallions shall not be removed from the designated farm during the year (except in the case of medical emergency). Exceptions may be made through special permission of the Fund for stallions to race during the breeding season, to move from their designated farm to another farm in New York, or to stand dual hemisphere service. Please contact the Fund for the rules governing these exceptions, providing plenty of advance notice for the stallion to be granted permission before leaving from the farm.

Foals produced by semen transported and inseminated in mares outside New York State will not be eligible for nomination in the New York Sire Stakes program.


MARES

Mares must be USTA registered. To produce a New York-bred foal, the mare may be bred in New York State or outside New York State to a stallion registered by the Fund.

Foals of mares bred by semen transported inside or outside of New York State are eligible for nomination into the NYSS program.
