Pennsylvania's Breeding Fund Program
Pennsylvania’s Breeding Fund Program distributes more money, on a per foal basis, than nearly any other state-bred program. In 2007 the Pennsylvania Breeding Fund distributed over $15.3 million; distribution stands at $12.7 million through the first seven months of 2008.
A foal must be registered with the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association (PHBA) to be eligible for the PA Breeding Fund money.
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:
- For foals of 2008 and thereafter, the dam of the foal resided continuously in Pennsylvania since October 1 of the year of conception through foaling
- The dam of the foal was purchased at a public sale after October 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 ninety (90) days in the state
- The dam of the foal was bred 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 remained in the state for at least the next ninety (90) days after foaling
