Registrations for standardbred mares which are going to reside in the state of Indiana for the 2010-2011 breeding season (for foals of 2011) are due June 1, 2010

.

Mare owners who desire to have 2011 foals eligible as either Indiana-Sired and Bred (ISB) or Indiana-Bred (IB) must register their mare and have them reside in Indiana by June 1, 2010.

The Standardbred Breed Development Program offers three levels of eligibility in which a foal may fall under. Two of these categories, ISB and IB, require that the mare of the foal be registered and reside in the state by June 1 prior to the year of foaling. The following chart represents the eligibility for each category:

Please note that only mares which are going to reside in the state of Indiana and participate in the Indiana-Sired & Bred or Indiana-Bred portion of the program need to be registered with the Indiana Horse Racing Commission.

The Standardbred Breed Development Program is offering over $17 million dollars in purses and awards to program participants during 2010.
