The Jockey Club is projecting a North American registered Thoroughbred foal crop of 17,300 in 2025. This represents 700 fewer foals than the 2024 foal crop estimate of 18,000.

The foal crop projection is computed by using Reports of Mares Bred (RMBs) received to date for the 2024 breeding season. RMBs are to be filed by Aug. 1 of each breeding season.

This year, The Jockey Club has published preliminary statistics regarding mares reported bred by state/province through the current date for 2024, 2023, and 2022. These reports are updated daily and can be found here.

For the RMBs received through September 30, 2024, The Jockey Club reports that 771 stallions covered 25,301 mares in North America during 2024.

The Jockey Club estimates an additional 2,500 to 3,500 mares will be reported as bred during the 2024 breeding season.

(NOTE: The 2023 breeding statistics, which includes data for Live Foal Reports for the 2024 foaling season, will be released later this month.)

Practical Joke had the highest number of mares bred in 2024 with 277, followed by Justify (263), Gunite (256), Golden Pal (209), Elite Power (203), Uncle Mo (202), Gun Runner (200), Pappacap (200), Taiba (200), Vekoma (200).

In Canada, SOUPER SPEEDY led all stallions by mares bred in 2024 at 54 over SILENT NAME (JPN), 51,  and FRAC DADDY, 46.
