Thoroughbred breeding is among the most important of procedures in the horse racing industry.  Successful stallions, suitable mares, unharmful conditions, and regulatory limitations all and more frame the list of advantageous and well-fare-oriented breeding. Following along, the path to expected results requires careful planning. Najja Thompson, one of NYRA’s decade-long officials has a slight glimpse to provide on the same.

Najja Thompson has had a leg each in NYRA’s communications and human resources. More importantly, the official’s role also includes promoting the New York-bred racing program and its significant economic impact within New York State. Working to the best of the program’s ability, Thompson revealed the plans for stallions next year.

Horse racing authority reveals plans ahead

Najja Thompson recently made a feature at NYRA’s ‘Best of 2023’. Having contributed immensely to the organization and horse racing as a whole, the official’s presence was deemed obvious. Talking about breeding in particular, Thompson was asked about the new stallions coming in and where they fit in with the state-bred program. American Revolution and Bucchero were the first two stallions initially revealed by Najja. “Bucchero offers breeders versatility from a runner who has performed well on dirt, turf, and synthetic,” he revealed.

As for American Revolution, the former New York-bred Horse of the Year will be bred with the son of Constitution who is known for producing talented offspring. “The new stallions join an already excellent value roster,” he continued. Honest Mischief; with a lineage of Graded stakes winners, Mind Control; who covered 190 mares in the state, and Central Banker; the leading New York-bred earner currently make the list.

The state-bred programs ensure breeding as a business acting in beneficial to the region. Following along, each state regulates to provide the right incentives to pull horse racing connections in hopes of economic impact. Najja Thompson, one of the brains behind NY’s breeding program provides the aim and benefits the state has to offer.

New York program’s fitting title

The state’s program has been considered one of the top programs in the country. Moreover, Thompson is of the opinion that New York continues to set a benchmark in horse racing. Thus, a carefully planned program is something that would accompany the title. In line with the thought, the state recently announced newer regulation, allowing breeders more money with their equine’s 1st to 3rd place finish in the races.
