Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 29, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 29, 2018 The New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund is seeking feedback on a potential change to the residency requirement for non-resident mares. The current rule states that non-resident mares must remain in New York for 90 days after foaling and be bred back to a registered New York stallion. The potential rule change would allow the 90-day residency to begin up to 30 days before the mare drops the foal, therefore allowing her to return to her home state sooner. “Industry stake holders can officially submit their comments to me through July 23,” the Fund’s Executive Director Tracy Egan said. “If this initial comment period indicates broad support for a change, then we will post the proposed change on the State Registry for 90 days to solicit even more comments. We want to make sure that stakeholders believe this small change in the residency rule will benefit our farms and our breeding industry before acting.” Comments can be emailed to Egan at Tegan@NYbreds.com or mailed to One Broadyway Center, Suite 601, Schenectady, N.Y., 12305.
