The deadline to nominate foals born in 2024 to the Breeders' Cup program at the one-time nomination fee of $400 is Thursday, Aug. 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET, Breeders' Cup Limited reiterated in a press release Thursday.
Any foal being entered in a fall or winter breeding stock sale must be nominated by this deadline for inclusion of the Breeders' Cup Nominated engagement on the catalog page.
The $400 weanling nomination entitles each foal with lifetime 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.
If sales foals are not nominated by the Aug. 1 early deadline, foal nominations may still be made in the foal's year of birth with a one-time payment of a $400 nomination fee if made on or before Oct. 15, 2024. That is the final deadline for a $400 lifetime eligibility nomination payment.
