NY Breeders Awards Posted Online

Published: October 15, 2014 04:36 pm EDT

The Harness Horse Breeders of New York State are pleased to announce the 2014 NYSS Breeders awards have been posted online.

The entire list can be found by clicking here.

This year the breeder’s awards were distributed under a new format as explained below:

1. Beginning for all foals born in 2014 and earlier, all funds available for breeder’s awards will be split into two equal pools of money. One pool of money will be for performance based awards with no residency requirements and the other will be for performance based awards with residency requirements. Resident horses can earn money from both pools.

2. Beginning with mares bred in 2014 to New York registered stallions, breeders awards will only be paid to “resident” mares. Mares must spend at least 180 continuous days in the state in each calendar year they are bred to a NY stallion thereafter, thus becoming “resident mares” for breeder’s award purposes. These resident breeder’s awards will be paid based on a percentage of performance earnings. Residency declaration forms must be filled out each calendar year to retain resident status. The dams of the NY-sired foals of 2015 and subsequent years will have to obtain “residency status” in order for the breeder of record to earn any New York breeders awards.

These forms are available for download on the fund's website in the "Forms and Downloads" section.
