The online Fact Book is a statistical and informational guide to Thoroughbred breeding, racing, and auction sales in North America and is updated quarterly. It also features a directory of Canadian, international, national, and state organizations. Links to the Breeding Statistics report that is released by The Jockey Club each September and the Report of Mares Bred information that is published by The Jockey Club each October can be found in the Breeding section of the Fact Book.

This edition of the Fact Book includes updates to the Reports of Mares Bred (RMBs) and Breeding Statistics sections. RMBs are now sortable by stallion name, number of mares bred, and state. The Breeding Statistics can be sorted by year and then by stallion name, mares bred, reports received, live foals, percent of live foals, and state. Both sections now have a search function and enable you to view all statistics or a certain number of statistics.

The 2023 State Fact Books, which feature detailed breeding, racing, and auction sales information specific to numerous states, Canadian provinces, and Puerto Rico, are also available on The Jockey Club website. The State Fact Books are updated monthly.

In 2021, The Jockey Club took over the production of The American Racing Manual from the Daily Racing Form, and the latest edition will be available as part of the Fact Book in the coming weeks.

JAMS, the largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services worldwide, will strengthen the integrity of United States horseracing by hearing cases under the newly created Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority's (HISA) Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program.

The industry-first program, administered by the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU), seeks to establish nationwide, uniform and efficient results management and adjudication processes for Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Rule Violations. The Program will create a centralized testing and results management process and apply uniform penalties for violations across all American Thoroughbred racing jurisdictions that HISA governs, beginning March 27, 2023.

As the arbitral body appointed by HISA and HIWU, JAMS will maintain a panel of arbitrators to administer and hear Anti-Doping Rule Violation cases. The panel will consist of neutrals, many of whom have experience in anti-doping and/or sports adjudication. As part of its role, JAMS will provide procedural fairness to the parties involved.

“We are pleased to support the rollout of this program, which will help ensure neutrality and consistency in the enforcement of one part of the rules that govern horseracing. We believe the administrative excellence of the JAMS organization, and the quality and deep experience of our arbitrators, will be invaluable in resolving cases brought by HIWU. We are proud to do our part in a program that will help maintain the integrity of the sport.”- John Pardun, vice president of JAMS Solutions

HIWU was established in 2022 by Drug Free Sport International to administer the rules and enforcement mechanisms of HISA's ADMC Program. HISA was established by the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020. Under the act, HISA submitted the Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Protocol (under Rule Series 3000) and the Arbitration Procedures (under Rule Series 7000) to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which will become effective March 27, 2023 (pending approval by the FTC). As established by the Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Protocol (under Rule Series 3000) and the Arbitration Procedures (under Rule Series 7000), JAMS will fulfill certain requirements described therein of the arbitral body to resolve alleged Anti-Doping Violations. More information about the rules update can be found here.

The FanDuel Group, home of FanDuel Sportsbook, FanDuel Racing, FanDuel TV, and TVG.com, and Breeders' Cup Limited have reached a multi-year agreement to extend FanDuel's status as the Official Wagering Partner of the Breeders' Cup World Championships.

FanDuel will retain its status as the Official ADW Partner, Official Sports Wagering Partner, Official Fantasy Sports Partner, and Official Mobile Casino Partner of the Breeders' Cup. With the 2023 renewal of the World Championships set for Nov. 3-4 at iconic Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, FanDuel will continue to serve as title partner of the $2 million FanDuel Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) and the $2 million FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) at Santa Anita Park. This agreement will continue at Del Mar for the 2024 Championships.

“FanDuel is one of the most innovative online wagering companies in the world,” said Drew Fleming, President and CEO of the Breeders' Cup. “We're delighted to be extending and strengthening our partnership with them and appreciate their continued investment in Thoroughbred racing in the United States. The exposure FanDuel has given to the Breeders' Cup has been critical to the growth of our organization and the Thoroughbred industry at large.”

In December, FanDuel became the first U.S. sportsbook to create a single account/single wallet for both parimutuel wagering on horse racing and sports betting. Prior to this innovation, customers were required to open and maintain separate wagering accounts.

“By integrating and prominently promoting racing as part of its market-leading sports betting platform, FanDuel will further enable the Breeders' Cup to grow its reach to new audiences,” said Fleming.

FanDuel TV will continue to produce and broadcast The Breeders' Cup Players' Show, a popular, live wagering-focused telecast of the World Championships, in addition to its coverage of key Breeders' Cup Challenge races and other special programming in the run-up to the Championships.

“The Breeders' Cup represents the pinnacle of international racing and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership,” said Andrew Moore, General Manager of Racing for the FanDuel Group. “The FanDuel Group is committed to investing in and growing the audience for horse racing and our partnership with the Breeders' Cup is a lynchpin of that commitment.”

ABOUT BREEDERS' CUP

Breeders' Cup Limited administers the Breeders' Cup World Championships, Thoroughbred racing's year-end Championships, as well as the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In, which provides automatic starting positions into the Championships races, and also administers the U.S.-based Dirt Dozen Bonus Series. The Breeders' Cup supports and operates under the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA), which, for the first time, establishes a national, uniform set of rules applicable to every Thoroughbred racing participant and racetrack. HISA seeks to enhance the safety of both horse and rider and to protect the integrity of the sport to the benefit of all racing participants, fans, and bettors.

The 2023 Breeders' Cup World Championships, consisting of 14 Grade 1 Championship races, and $31 million in purses and awards, is scheduled to be held on November 3-4 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. The Championships will be televised live by NBC Sports. Breeders' Cup press releases appear on the Breeders' Cup website, breederscup.com. You can also follow the Breeders' Cup on social media.
