From The Jockey Club
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 17, 2015) – California registered the biggest gain from last year of any state in the number of 2015 live foals to this point, according to The Jockey Club.
California had 1,767 live foals in 2015, an increase of 8.5 percent from 2014. Next was Kentucky with an increase of 6.9 percent and Florida with a gain of 2.8 percent. All other states showed declines in live foal numbers.
“The breeding statistics are the number of live foals by conception area, regardless of where the foals were born,” said Matt Iuliano, executive vice president and executive director, The Jockey Club. “The statistics do not represent live foals actually born in each state or province, and they do not represent the fertility record of any stallion.”
The Jockey Club estimates that the number of live foals reported so far is approximately 90 percent complete.
