Illinois Thoroughbred Breeding Program
There is a great deal of concern regarding rumors that the Breeding Program will require Breed-Back to an Illinois Stallion if the mare has an "Illinois Foaled Only" offspring.
There will be no change to the Breeding Program to require this action!
There was an exploratory meeting to discuss possible ways to improve the Illinois Program to add value to our stallions, foals and racing stock. After the meeting it was inappropriately conveyed that this issue would be pursued.
We brought all of the ideas forward that were discussed at this meeting at our Board of Directors Meeting in March. As a matter of fact, the Board of Directors put this idea to a vote and it was unanimously decided that this would not become a part of our program.
The last crop of foals showed that for the first time there were actually more "Foaled Only" than "Illinois Conceived and Foaled! If a Breed-Back stipulation was put in place, we would lose so many foals that our state restricted program would cease to exist.
We had a follow up meeting on April 26 th and the ideas developed in that meeting will soon be put out to the membership.
