EBF May Nomination Date Changed

The deadline for nominating yearlings to the European Breeders Fund is now May 31, the EBF announced on Tuesday. Any yearling by a sire not registered with the EBF and standing outside Europe can be made eligible to run in the EBF programme of races, worth €5 million in additional prizemoney, for a $600 fee.

“We review our nominations process annually and as the

yearling sales landscape has changed over the years, we felt that it is now possible to move this deadline out to May 31, giving breeders that intend to race their yearlings or those that are consigning them to a sale plenty of time to nominate,” said the EBF's Kerry Murphy. “Those nominated at $600 by May

31 st will be confirmed as EBF nominated on their page in the major yearling sales catalogues. This nomination stage is mostly applicable to breeders using American or Japanese stallions that are not registered to the EBF. Thanks to increasing support the list of internationally registered stallions has grown significantly and we advise breeders to check with us to see if

their yearling does need nominating.”
