European Breeders' Fund : BCL/EBF Common Fund

This fund has been set up to allow stallions, standing outside the Breeders' Cup and EBF areas, to make contributions, which then allow the stallions' progeny to be nominated to the EBF or to BCL, or to both.

The proceeds of stallion contributions are shared between EBF and BCL, whilst the nomination fees for foals/yearlings are retained by the organization to which they are paid.

BENEFITS OF OWNING AN “EBF NOMINATED” HORSE:

An EBF Nominated horse is eligible to enter the EBF race programme throughout Europe for its entire racing career.
The majority of maiden two-year-old races in Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany and Italy are programmed for EBF eligible horses. EBF supported races offer enhanced prize money.
More attractive to potential purchasers – If being sold as a yearling at one of the major public auctions in Europe or the USA, an EBF eligible sales entry will have “EBF Nominated” printed on the catalogue page.

2yo “Breeze-Ups” and 3 & 4yo National Hunt store horses are also listed as “EBF Nominated” in major European sales catalogues.
Extra earning power – in addition to the extensive two-year-old programme, the EBF continues to support more races for older horses, fillies and mares.
In Great Britain and Ireland, there is also a significant programme for jumping-bred horses. France and Italy also programme EBF jump races.
