The early deadline to nominate weanlings of 2023 to the Breeders' Cup program is Aug. 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The one-time regular nomination fee of $400 entitles each foal with lifetime racing eligibility to the Breeders' Cup World Championships and the Breeders' Cup racing programs.
All foals sired by a fully nominated North American Breeders' Cup stallion are eligible for nomination to the Breeders' Cup program in their year of birth at the weanling rate.
Any foal entered in a fall or winter breeding stock sale must be nominated by the early foal deadline in order for the Breeders' Cup Nominated engagement to be included on the catalog page.
If not nominated by the Aug. 1 early deadline, standard foal nominations may still be made in the foal's year of birth with a one-time payment of a $400 nomination fee due Oct. 15.
Late foal nominations may be made in the foal's year of birth by a one-time payment of a $1,500 nomination fee between Oct. 16 of the weanling year to Feb. 28 of the yearling year.
