Deadline to Register to EBF June 30

The deadline to register 2-year-olds to the European Breeders Fund by a stallion not registered to the EBF is Friday, June 30.

“Owners and trainers looking to campaign a horse in Europe should check that it is EBF nominated as over 80% of 2-year-old maiden/novice races are confined to EBF eligibles,” said Kerry Murphy of the EBF said. “Once eligible, horses can compete for a pool of over €5million available in added prizemoney throughout Europe, including the valuable series being staged in GB and Ireland. This nomination stage largely relates to horses by stallions standing in North America”.

New European Breeders’ Fund Website Launched

A new website for the European Breeders' Fund, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2023, launched this week. The site offers a better user experience with improved search capabilities for owners and trainers, and dedicated pages for each member country detailing their Trustees, race programmes and news.

“The 40th anniversary of the European Breeders Fund is a good time to refresh the website and include more information on each member country,” Kerry Murphy, CEO of the European Breeders' Fund, said. “The EBF is putting more funds into prizemoney than ever due to the strength of our stallions with over €5 million being paid out this year. It's important to have a platform people can easily navigate to find the information they need.”

Ballylinch Stud’s John O’Connor New Chairman Of The European Breeders’ Fund

Ballylinch Stud's John O'Connor has been named the new Chairman of the European Breeders' Fund. He replaces Philip Freedman, who served two terms in that role.

O'Connor, who has also been Chairman of the Irish EBF and ITBA in the past, said, “I am delighted to take on the Chairmanship of the EBF in its 40th year. The EBF plays a significant role in supporting the racing industry at many levels. Due to the calibre of stallions that now stand in Europe and through the commitment of stallion farms large and small, the EBF contributes more to prize-money than ever at a time when it is of crucial importance with costs rising rapidly for all participants in racing. I will aim to continue and build on the excellent work of my predecessor Philip Freedman and I look forward to working with Kerry Murphy and the team.”
