The Jockey Club Projects 2023 Foal Crop Of 18,500

The Jockey Club is projecting a North American registered Thoroughbred foal crop of 18,500 in 2023. This represents 200 fewer foals than the 2022 foal crop estimate of 18,700.

The foal crop projection is computed by using Reports of Mares Bred (RMBs) received to date for the 2022 breeding season. RMBs are to be filed by August 1 of each breeding season.

Additional foal crop information is available in The Jockey Club's online fact book at jockeyclub.com/factbook.asp and in the online state fact books.

Stallion owners who have not returned their RMBs for the 2022 breeding season are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. Interactive Registration, which enables registered users to perform virtually all registration-related activities over the Internet, is the most efficient means of submitting RMBs and is available at registry.jockeyclub.com.

The Jockey Club, founded in 1894 and dedicated to the improvement of Thoroughbred breeding and racing, is the breed registry for North American Thoroughbreds. In fulfillment of its mission, The Jockey Club, directly or through subsidiaries, provides support and leadership on a wide range of important industry initiatives, and it serves the information and technology needs of owners, breeders, media, fans and farms.

Ben Hanley Joins WinStar Farm’s Bloodstock Team

WinStar Farm has announced the hiring of Ben Hanley as the newest member of its stallion season sales team.

With a degree in equine science from the University of Kentucky and a degree from the Irish National Stud course, Hanley begins his new position following stints with Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott in Saratoga, and having worked in yearling prep for WinStar, Coolmore, and Taylor Made. Hanley also gained valuable experience working in a customer-facing role with Taylor Made Sales Agency at Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton yearling sales.

Following graduation from the Irish National Stud program, Hanley worked as assistant yearling manager for Airdrie Stud, and was a stallion groom at Ashford Stud, where he traveled with the stallions to Australia for a breeding season and gained experience working with mares and foals. Once back home, he split his responsibilities at Ashford between yearling prep and working with stallions.

“I am excited to join the bloodstock team at WinStar and continue building my career working with an elite stallion roster,” Hanley said.

Liam O'Rourke, WinStar's director of bloodstock services, added, “Ben has built a great foundation of practical experience at several world-class operations. We are excited to bring Ben into the WinStar team, and I'm confident he'll provide a great blend of horsemanship and customer service to breeders.”
