Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) In order to
				be eligible to enter and start in races exclusively for New Jersey bred foals,
				each New Jersey bred "accredited" and/or "non-accredited" foal must be
				registered with the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of New Jersey.
(b) To qualify for such registration, the
				said horse must have been foaled in the State of New Jersey by a resident New
				Jersey mare or a non-resident New Jersey mare or conceived by a resident "New
				Jersey stallion."
1. A resident New Jersey
				mare is a mare that resides in New Jersey continuously from November 1 of the
				year prior to the foaling through the date of foaling. A mare purchased at
				public auction subsequent to October 17th of the year prior to foaling, is
				considered a resident New Jersey mare provided that she commences residence in
				New Jersey within two weeks of her purchase and continuously resides in New
				Jersey through the date of foaling. For the purpose of this paragraph, public
				auction is defined as an auction generally regarded as a public auction in the
				thoroughbred horse industry and recognized as same by the Thoroughbred
				Breeders' Association of New Jersey.
2. A non-resident New Jersey mare is a mare
				that has not been returned to New Jersey by November 1 of the year prior to
				foaling. The resulting foal may still be registered as a New Jersey-bred
				provided the mare is bred to a registered New Jersey stallion the season of the
				birth of said foal and remain in New Jersey for a continuous period of 90 days
				after foaling.
3. "New Jersey
				stallion" is a stallion resident and standing in the State of New Jersey the
				full breeding season, commonly understood to be the period from February 1
				through July 1 of the subject year. If a stallion is brought into New Jersey
				subsequent to the start of the breeding season, he may be approved as a "New
				Jersey stallion" by the New Jersey Racing Commission upon recommendation of the
				Board of Trustees of the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of New Jersey
				provided that he stands and is resident in New Jersey for the remainder of the
				breeding season. For those stallions brought into New Jersey subsequent to the
				commencement of the breeding season, approval by the Thoroughbred Breeders'
				Association of New Jersey as a "New Jersey stallion" is only for the period
				from the date of approval through the end of the breeding season. All "New
				Jersey stallions" must be registered with the Thoroughbred Breeders'
				Association of New Jersey and all appropriate annual fees paid prior to
				February 1 of the breeding season or, in the case of a stallion entering the
				State subsequent to the start of the breeding season, prior to serving the
				first mare. Failure to meet the above criteria solely by reason of the death of
				the stallion does not disqualify said stallion as a "New Jersey
				stallion."
