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.
