1. that;s all they do is artificial insemination !
2. I thought they did not allow it..... but I am not 100% sure of that.
3. It is absolutely not allowed.
4. In order to race your horse must be registered with the Jockey Club. In order to be registered with the Jockey Clib your horse MUST have been bred from a live cover. The Jockey Club will not allow any horses bred from AI to be registered ever and they are not going to change that in the comming future.
5. The exact rules from the Jockey Club regarding artificial insemination are as follows To be eligible for registration, a foal must be the result of a stallion’s Breeding with a broodmare (which is the physical mounting of a broodmare by a stallion with intromission of the penis and ejaculation of semen into the reproductive tract). As an aid to the Breeding, a portion of the ejaculate produced by the stallion during such mating may immediately be placed in the uterus of the broodmare being bred. A natural gestation must take place in, and delivery must be from, the body of the same broodmare in which the foal was conceived. Without limiting the above, any foal resulting from or produced by the processes of Artificial Insemination, Embryo Transfer or Transplant, Cloning or any other form of genetic manipulation not herein specified, shall not be eligible for registration
6. NO.NO.NO....artificial insemination is not allowed in thoroughbred horse racing. However, artificial insemination is allowed for standard bred horse racing... For this question, and in all fairness...Greyt-mom gets 'best answer'...That is the answer...
7. NO THE STALLION HAS TO COVER THE MARE
8. Not allowed for race thoroughbreds. Some of the confusion on this question may lie in the fact that artificial insemination is allowed for standardbred racing horses in many states. Murph
9. it is not allowed they have to do natural breeding.
10. No. It's laborious and requires professional help. Most of the previous answers were correct. I will go one step further on the subject.... I believe it's time to evaluate the inbreeding that I see too much of in thoroughbreds. Think it's time different blood gets mixed in. The breed hasn't been improved upon in over 30 years. Over 75% of all racehorses have bloodlines going back to two stalions that an Italian genius called Federico Tesio produced. It's time for another genius to change the blood around.
11. Yes of course AI (artificial insemination) is allowed......a stallion would not make it through a breeding season if he had to mount every mare being breed.
12. Artificial Insemination is NOT allowed in throughbred racing breeding! They do live cover around two three times a day. Standardbreds are allowed A.I.
13. No, its not allowed.
