Breeding Entry

A Breeding Entry (BE) is the only way to enroll a horse in the Sweepstakes Program to be eligible to earn prize money at the Regional and National Level.  The enrollment is for the life of the horse.

 

A Breeding Entry is enrolled in-utero, and the application must be postmarked/electronic transaction dated December 31 of the year the mare is bred.  For a foal to be eligible to be enrolled as a Breeding Entry, either the sire needs to be enrolled as a Nominated Sire, or the dam must be enrolled as a Nominated Dam.

Nominated Sire / Nominated Dam

 

Enrollment of a Nominated Sire (NS) or a Nominated Dam (ND) allows their Arabian, Half-Arabian or Anglo-Arabian offspring to be eligible to be enrolled in-utero as a Breeding Entry.  Horse must be enrolled the year of breeding.  The enrollments are for the lifetime of the horse.

Designated Sweepstakes Classes

 

These classes were selected from a standardized class list that makes it easy to identify and verify prize money payouts.  Classes were selected to encourage breeders to nominate foals in-utero as a Breeding Entry.
