CHANGES MADE TO OUT OF STATE BREEDING RULES
SPRINGFIELD, IL – The opportunity to breed out-of-state mares to Illinois registered stallions and have resulting foals that are eligible to register as Illinois conceived and foaled horses went into effect on January 1, 2018 and will continue through January 1, 2022. Since the new rule has been put in place those that fall under this rule change will be available for all the eligibility benefits, this includes foals born between January 1, 2019 through January 1, 2022.
To register a foal meeting these breeding rule changes and born outside of Illinois, a foal registration application is required to be submitted to the Illinois Department of Agriculture within ten days of foaling and must include pictures that show the marking on the front, back and each side of the foal. Once registered these foals will be eligible to compete in pari-mutuel and county fair races restricted to Illinois conceived and foaled horses.
