Tuesday, 10 November 2009 10:19
Stallion registration for the 2010 New York Sire Stakes season begins November 15, 2009 and continues until January 1, 2010.
To register your stallion to the New York Sire Stakes program, please fill out the “Stallion Registration Form” and send it along with your payment to the Agriculture & New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund. The Stallion Registration Form is available for download at http://tiny.cc/StallionRegForm.
The cost of registration is 25% of the stud fee (maximum $5,000) or $200 for those stallions standing for $1,000 or less. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the Agriculture & New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund and mailed to 90 State Street, Suite 809, Albany, NY 12207.
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 10 years 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 10 years 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 10 years. 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 no 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.
