| 2026 Fact Book Available, Breeding Statistics Updated Daily | |
The Jockey Club announced today that the 2026 edition of the Fact Book is available, and the pages in the breeding section are now updated daily. “Having the breeding pages of the Fact Book update daily provides industry professionals — and anyone interested — with real-time insight into the current state of Thoroughbred breeding,” said Rick Bailey, registrar of The Jockey Club. “Next, we’re focused on upgrading the racing statistics to refresh on a consistent and timely basis.” The online Fact Book is a statistical and informational guide to Thoroughbred breeding, racing, and auction sales in North America and can be found in the Resources section at jockeyclub.com. The Jockey Club is continually seeking ways to provide information in novel formats concerning the Thoroughbred industry. Please email Shannon Luce, vice president, Communications, with your ideas: sluce@jockeyclub.com. The 2026 State Fact Books, which feature detailed breeding, racing, and auction sales information specific to numerous states, Canadian provinces, and Puerto Rico, are also available on The Jockey Club website. The State Fact Books are updated monthly. The 2026 edition of The American Racing Manual will be available as part of the Fact Book in the coming weeks. The Jockey Club, founded in 1894 and dedicated to the improvement of Thoroughbred breeding and racing, is the breed registry for Thoroughbreds in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. A New York non-profit organization governed by a board of stewards, The Jockey Club has offices in New York and Kentucky. Profits from the commercial subsidiaries of The Jockey Club support investments in initiatives to improve the health, safety, and welfare of Thoroughbreds and to market and grow the sport. Among its many supported initiatives are America’s Best Racing (americasbestracing.net), OwnerView ownerview.com), and the Thoroughbred Incentive Program (tjctip.com).
