Breeders’ Cup Late Foal Noms Close Feb. 28

The deadline to nominate foals of 2022 to the Breeders' Cup program for a one-time late fee of $1,500 is Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The $1,500 nomination entitles each foal with lifetime eligibility to the Breeders' Cup World Championships and the Breeders' Cup Racing Programs, which include the global Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win & You're In and the U.S.-based Dirt Dozen Bonus Series. All foals sired by a fully nominated North American Breeders' Cup stallion are eligible for nomination to the Breeders' Cup program in their year of birth and up to the end of February of their yearling year.

During its 39 years of existence, Breeders' Cup has allocated purses and awards of nearly $900 million to owners, foal nominators, and stallion nominators through its programs, including the annual $31-million Breeders' Cup World Championships showcasing the best Thoroughbreds, owners, trainers, and jockeys to a global audience. The 40th renewal of the Breeders' Cup will be held at Santa Anita Nov. 3 and 4.

Foal nominators will earn $10,000 for every victory in the worldwide Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In and every horse that starts in a Breeders' Cup World Championship race will earn a nominator award in recognition of excellence in breeding. The individual nominating the foal receives these nominator awards even though the horse may change hands throughout its racing career.

Deadline Approaching For T.I.P. Horse Show And Youth Ambassador Applications

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) reminds relevant parties that horse show applications are due September 30 and Youth Ambassador Program applications are due October 1.
Horse shows, horse trials, and other events interested in offering T.I.P. awards in 2022 must apply during the application period even if the information or show dates are tentative. Shows that offered awards in 2021 still need to re-apply for 2022 dates. More information and the online application are available here.

Introduced in 2016, the T.I.P. Youth Ambassador Program selects about a dozen youth ambassadors on an annual basis to positively represent T.I.P. and the Thoroughbred breed.

[Story Continues Below]

The goal of the T.I.P. Youth Ambassador Program is to promote participation in T.I.P. with the mission to encourage retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of careers in racing or breeding. A youth ambassador's role is to positively represent T.I.P. and the Thoroughbred breed at his or her local barn, shows, competitions, or any other activities in which he or she may participate.
T.I.P. Youth Ambassadors must meet the following criteria:

Be 18 years old or younger as of January 1, 2022
Reside in the U.S. or Canada
Own or lease a Thoroughbred with a T.I.P. number
Participate in T.I.P. shows or programs

The Youth Ambassador Program application can be found on the T.I.P. website.
