HOW TO BECOME A PA-BRED

A Thoroughbred foal born in the state of Pennsylvania and registered as such with the Jockey Club is eligible for Pennsylvania-Bred registration with the PHBA if one of the following conditions is met:

1. For foals of 2019 and thereafter, the dam of the foal resided continuously in Pennsylvania since December 1 of the year of conception through foaling. Mares not being bred back fall under this category.
   
   
2. The dam of the foal was purchased at a public sale after December 1 of the year of conception and brought into Pennsylvania within 14 days of the date of purchase and remained continuously through foaling. During the year of foaling, the foal or its dam spent at least sixty (60) days in the state. (Note: Must be a completed public sale – not a RNA or a private transaction after the public sale.)
   
   
3. The dam of the foal was bred back in 2019 to a stallion standing in Pennsylvania which was registered with the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association as a Pennsylvania stallion during the breeding season of the year of foaling, and said dam of the foal resided in the state for at least sixty (60) consecutive days during which foaling occurred.
