Breeders' Trophy

The Scandinavian Breeders' Trophy Series is a series of races for two-, three- and four-year-old horses sired by stallions nominated to the series. The series offers substantial prize money, making it a significant advantage for your horse to be eligible to compete.

Breeders' Trophy was established in Sweden in the 1980s, inspired by the American Breeders' Cup. Only progeny of stallions nominated to the series are eligible to compete.

Stallions must be nominated before the covering season begins

Stallions must be nominated before the start of the covering season in which the mares that will produce the future racehorses are covered. For example, for a foal born in 2028 to be eligible to compete in the Breeders' Trophy series, the stallion must be nominated before the 2027 covering season begins. The nomination fee is equivalent to the stallion's total covering fee and is normally due mid February.

A stallion can also be nominated by someone other than the stallion owner. For example, if several breeders intend to use the same stallion, they can join forces to nominate him to the Breeders' Trophy series. The resulting progeny will then be eligible to be entered in the race series.

An important requirement for the nomination is that the stallion owner must provide written consent.

Nominate your stallion(s) to the Scandinavian Breeders' Series 2030-2032

The 2030–2032 Scandinavian Breeder’s Series will feature six races across Scandinavia.

The program includes one 1,400 m race for two-year-olds, three races for three-year-olds (1,370 m, 1,750 m, and 1,980 m), and two races for four-year-olds (1,600 m and 1,800 m).

Until recently, the series has primarily focused on offspring of stallions standing in Scandinavia. However, with an increasing number of international stallions entering, eligibility for international foals will expand significantly. As participation continues to grow, prize money is also expected to increase substantially in the coming years.

Stallion nominations for the 2027 covering season are due February 15.

The entry/nomination fee for each stallion is equal to the advertised stud/covering fee, or a minimum 5 000 sek, and covers the full series.
