Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 5, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 5, 2020 The Jockey Club (TJC) released 2019 breeding statistics Monday, with 1,552 North American stallions covering 31,198 mares in 2019. The matings have resulted in 19,677 live foals of 2020, according to Live Foal Reports submitted to TJC thus far. The statistics were compiled through Sept. 29. The number of live foals is estimated to be approximately 85-90% complete, with reporting down 3.4% from last year at the same time when TJC had received reports for 20,363 live foals. In addition to the 19,677 live foals of 2020, TJC also received 2,476 No Foal Reports for the foaling season, with the 2020 registered foal crop projected to reach 20,500. The number of stallions declined 4.8% from the 1,630 reported for 2018 at this time in 2019, while the number of mares bred declined 4% from the 32,508 reported for 2018. As per usual, Kentucky leads all states and provinces in Thoroughbred breeding activity, with Kentucky-based stallions accounting for 55.3% of the mares reported bred in North America and 60.2% of the live foals reported. The 17,240 mares reported bred to 228 Kentucky stallions in 2019 have produced 11,851 live foals, a 2.9% decrease. The number of mares reported bred to Kentucky stallions decreased 1.2%. Among the 10 states and provinces with the most mares covered in 2019, three produced more live foals in 2020 than in 2019 as reported at this time last year: Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The report includes progeny of stallions standing in North America but foaled abroad (numbering 429) and includes 79 mares bred to 14 stallions in North America on Southern Hemisphere time. The 2019 breeding statistics are available through the Resources link at The Jockey Club. A report listing the number of mares bred in 2020 will be released later this month.
