OCALA - The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association announced that it will waive most registration fees for Florida-bred and Florida-sired foals of 2025, effective immediately. This unprecedented offer is available exclusively to FTBOA regular members whose names appear as the official breeder of record.
"After successfully defending our industry – once again – against decoupling efforts in the 2025 legislative session, we wanted to show our appreciation for the unwavering support of Florida's Thoroughbred breeding community," FTBOA CEO Lonny Powell said. "It's our way of giving back to those who stand with us."
The Florida-bred registration schedule for foals of 2025 is:
• Foals: Aug. 31, 2025 ($0 FTBOA Members / $300 Non-Members), or
• Extended Foals: Dec. 31, 2025: ($0 FTBOA Members / $500 Non-Members), or
• Yearlings: Dec. 31, 2026: ($400 FTBOA Members / $800 Non-Members).
Florida-bred foals of 2025 sired by registered Florida stallions assume full eligibility for the Florida Sire Stakes upon successful Florida-bred registration by December 31, 2026. Late registrations (2-year-olds) for the Florida Sire Stakes remain available, as follows
:
• Two-year-old Standalone: Jan. 15, 2027 ($5,000), or
• Two-year-old Last Chance: May 1, 2027 ($10,000), or June 30, 2027 ($15,000).
Florida-bred and Florida Sire Stakes registration forms reside at FTBOA.com, or contact the FTBOA office for assistance (

, 352-629-2160).
All applications must be postmarked within FTBOA's published deadlines to qualify for registration and member pricing. Registration fees and deadlines for non-members remain unchanged from prior years, as do Florida stallion registration schedules and fees.
