Pennsylvania Leaderboard

Disco Ebo set the early pace among Pennsylvania incentive award earners for the 2023 season, and Weigelia filly has maintained that advantage through the early summer months, bringing in $193,952 to her various connections for her Keystone State roots. That figure was compiled with Pennsylvania breeder’s awards, stallion owner’s awards, and owner’s bonuses through July […]

The month of May is a time for 3-year-olds to shine on the Triple Crown stage, but that magic can be found close to home in Pennsylvania with sophomores born and raced in the Keystone State rewarding their connections in a variety of ways. When it comes to raking in Pennsylvania incentives, no 3-year-old did […]

The purse and black type benefits that come with winning a stakes race are certainly appealing, but they’re not the only way to make serious money with a Pennsylvania-bred. Through the first four months of the year, Date Night Kisses generated $63,580 through various Pennsylvania incentive programs without making a single start in stakes company. […]

The name says it all with Uptowncharlybrown Stud: the operation built upon, and geared toward continuing, the success of veteran Pennsylvania sire Uptowncharlybrown. Through the first four months of 2023, the plan has worked as well as any in the state, with the operation leading the way by total Pennsylvania Breeding Fund awards, totaling $182,856. […]

After a long reign by the late Jump Start at the top of the Pennsylvania sire ranks, it appears there is a new sheriff in town. After leading all Pennsylvania sires by stallion awards earned for the first time in 2022, Wyn Oaks Farm’s Weigelia is once again setting the pace through the first quarter […]

It doesn’t take long for a good Pennsylvania-bred to make serious money for their connections within the state’s program, and Disco Ebo displayed this notion to perfection through the first two months of 2023. The 4-year-old Weigelia filly earned a combined $78,540 in breeder’s awards, stallion owner’s awards, and owner’s bonuses through Feb. 28, to […]

Pennsylvania features one of North America’s most lucrative breeder’s awards structures for Thoroughbred racing, and no farm took advantage of that in 2023 quite like Blackstone Farm. The Pine Grove, Penn.,-based operation of Christian Black and Douglas Black (no relation) finished 2022 as the state’s leading earner of breeder’s awards, bringing in $423,292, well ahead […]

A good Pennsylvania-bred can make their connections far more than just purse money, and no horse exemplified that notion better than Flor de Sombra in 2022. During her juvenile season, the daughter of Social Inclusion racked up $424,990 in earnings tied to her status as a horse born and sired in the Keystone State, including […]

For nearly a decade, the surest bet in the Pennsylvania breeding industry was that Jump Start would top the list among state sire awards. Heading into 2022, the late Jump Start had led the standings each of the past seven years, and he spent much of the year once again at the front of the […]

The quickest and easiest way to reap the benefits of the Pennsylvania-bred and -sired is to run in, and win, stakes races. However, it is far from the only way to bring in generous rewards. Miss Dillingham brought in $82,210 in rewards for her various connections through the end of July without a single stakes […]
