Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 1, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 1, 2018 With an estimated 90% of reports submitted, The Jockey Club has released statistics showing a 2.3% decrease in Live Foal Reports in 2018 versus this same time a year ago. A total of 1,778 stallions covered 34,288 mares in North America in 2017 and these breedings have resulted in 21,130 live foals of 2018 being reported to The Jockey Club on Live Foal Reports. Ultimately, the 2018 registered foal crop is projected to reach 21,500. The number of stallions declined 4.6% from the 1,863 reported for 2016 at this time last year, while the number of mares bred declined 4.9% from the 36,045 reported for 2016. Kentucky-based stallions accounted for 50.7% of the mares reported bred in North America in 2017 and 58.5% of the live foals reported for 2018. The 17,401 mares reported bred to 235 Kentucky stallions in 2017 have produced 12,370 live foals, a 0.2% decrease on the 12,396 Kentucky-sired live foals of 2017 reported at this time last year. The number of mares reported bred to Kentucky stallions in 2017 decreased 2.9% compared to the 17,912 reported for 2016 at this time last year. Among the 10 states and provinces with the most mares covered in 2017, only three produced more live foals in 2018 than in 2017 as reported at this time last year: Ontario, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. The 2017 breeding statistics are available alphabetically by stallion name through the Resources-Fact Book link on The Jockey Club homepage at jockeyclub.com.
