American Saddlebred Registry Sweepstakes to Receive Over $120,000 Boost in Prize Money

The American Saddlebred Registry (ASR) Sweepstakes will be awarding over $120,000 in additional prize money, available to Kentucky-bred horses thanks to the state’s Breeders Incentive Fund. The Kentucky legislature enacted the Breeders Incentive Fund in 2005 to encourage breeding horses of all breeds in Kentucky. The fund takes a portion of the sales tax generated through stallion service fees and returns it to the breeders.

Beginning in 2008, Kentucky-bred American Saddlebreds nominated to compete in the ASR Four-Year-Old Sweepstakes events (horses must be nominated as three-year-olds) will receive payouts from the Breeders Incentive Fund as added prize money based on the highest placed eligible Kentucky-breds in each division. The ASR Four-Year-Old Sweepstakes events held annually are in the five-gaited, three-gaited, fine harness, and park pleasure divisions. The available Incentive Funds will be divided equally between the divisions. Of the money in each division, 70% will be awarded to the breeder and 30% will be awarded to the stallion owner.

Eligibility for the added prize money is based on the Kentucky-bred criteria, which are as follows: a horse registered by the American Saddlebred Registry, foaled in Kentucky, sired by a stallion standing in Kentucky at the time of service, and bred by a resident of Kentucky (breeder is designated per ASR rules).
