New York-breds...they start with an Advantage.

New York State is the ideal location to breed, raise, train and race your Thoroughbred. From the rolling pastures of Saratoga County to the fertile Hudson River Valley and west towards Genesee Valley country, New York boasts some of the best grazing land and premier training facilities in the country, producing strong-boned horses of national and international fame.

What better place to test your handwork and investment than in the most successful incentive program in North America at four of the finest tracks in the world? Each of New York's tracks offer a unique and exciting racing experience--Saratoga Race Course where the world comes for the experience, beautiful Belmont Park near the shores of Long Island and close proximity of its sister track Aqueduct Race Track, both of which are a heartbeat from the Capital of the World, New York City. There is also the Finger Lakes Race Track in New York's scenic wine country, nearby Rochester and Niagara Falls. All offer ample racing opportunities for the New York-bred racehorse and at every level of participation for breeders, owners, and stallion owners there is a formula for the awards money which provides incentives to those of you that want to participate in a major league sport.

For breeders the rewards go beyond the selling of the offspring as they continue earning dividends throughout the horse's New York racing career. Horses who compete in open company at the $30,000 claiming level and above, the extra added opportunity to earn money for simply owning and campaigning a New York-bred in New York State.

For registered New York stallions, the stallion owner continues to benefit financially beyond the standard stallion stud fees as the progeny race and earn purse money at the New York racetracks. In addition to these awards there is the New York Stallion Stakes Series which is restricted to eligible progeny of nominated Registered New York based stallions. The Stallions Stakes Series is coordinated and maintained by the New York Racing Association.
