Eligibility Requirements for Stallions

PURPOSE: This rule sets forth eligibility requirements for stallions. (1) To be eligible for registration in the fund and qualify for stallion owners’ awards, the following requirements must be met: (A) The stallion shall be at least fifty percent (50%) owned or at least fifty percent (50%) leased by a resident(s) of Missouri, and standing for service within Missouri at the time of a foal’s conception and that stallion must not stand for service at any place outside Missouri during the calendar year in which the foal is conceived; the stallion may leave the state for an indefinite period of time to race, for performance purposes or for medical treatment; and (B) The owner of the stallion shall complete an application on a form provided by the commission. The stallion must be duly registered in the fund no later than January 31 of the year the foal is conceived. However, a stallion which has not been in Missouri for breeding purposes before January 31 of the current breeding season may be eligible for stallion awards if the stallion has been properly registered with the commission prior to servicing any mare and that stallion has not serviced any mare after December 31 of the preceding year. A stallion Renewal Form provided by the commission must be completed for the registered stallion no later than January 31 of each year to remain eligible. (2) The owner or lessee of an accredited Missouri stallion, for the purpose of qualifying for stallion awards, is the owner/lessee of record at the time the offspring is conceived. If the stallion is leased, a copy of the lease must accompany the registration application. The lease must contain a statement that the lessee is authorized to sign the breeding certificate.
