Section 2:32-2.4 - Stallion standing full season(a) In order to establish and maintain the eligibility of his foals for the Sire Stakes Program, a stallion must be present on the farm in New Jersey on which he is registered to stand by the dates published by the SBOA-NJ for the year for which he is registered as a Sire Stakes stallion and shall stand on that farm for breeding purposes for the full breeding season. A Sire Stakes stallion that is registered as a dual hemisphere stallion must be present on the farm on which he is registered to stand by the dates published by the SBOA-NJ of the year of registration, and shall stand on that farm for breeding purposes for the remainder of the breeding season, except that the Sire Stakes Board of Trustees may grant permission allowing a dual hemisphere stallion to leave the farm after July 15 of the breeding season in order to return to the southern hemisphere. 1. No Sire Stakes stallion shall be moved before the end of the breeding season from the farm on which he is registered to stand without the prior permission (excluding medical emergency) of the Sire Stakes Board of Trustees.(b) A stallion may race during a breeding season for which he is registered as a Sire Stakes stallion, so long as all proper registration paperwork is submitted. The Sire Stakes Board of Trustees may grant permission to compete in any stakes or invitational events only to a first year Sire Stakes stallion whose participation the Board of Trustees determines to be important to the betterment of the Sire Stakes Program. The granting of permission to race pursuant to this section shall not relieve any stallion from the requirements at (a) above or this subsection, except that any stallion granted such permission shall not be required to be on the farm on which he is registered to stand until March 1 of the breeding season. In order to be eligible, any stallion granted permission to continue racing may only breed or have semen collected on a farm within the boundaries of the State of New Jersey. Semen must be available for pick up at the farm where the stallion is registered. Any semen collection of such a stallion must be supervised by a responsible party and then certified to, in writing, by a veterinarian licensed to practice in the State of New Jersey. A stallion's semen that is gathered outside of the State of New Jersey cannot be used to breed foals that are eligible to be nominated to the New Jersey Sire Stakes Program. Stallions that are registered in any jurisdiction other than the State of New Jersey shall be automatically disqualified from participation in the New Jersey Sire Stakes Program and any foals resulting from breedings to said stallions shall be ineligible to participate in the New Jersey Sire Stakes Program.(c) If a registered Sire Stakes stallion is moved during a breeding season without having obtained the prior permission of the Sire Stakes Board of Trustees, the foals of that stallion which were bred during that breeding season shall not be eligible for the Sire Stakes Program.(d) In the event that a stallion based in New Jersey dies during a breeding season, frozen semen of the deceased stallion may be used to establish and maintain the eligibility of his foals for the Sire Stakes Program; however, no foal conceived after the July 1 immediately succeeding the stallion's death shall be eligible for registration.N.J.
