Transitional QBRED eligibility

Racing Queensland announced the introduction of Transitional QBRED eligibility - a new eligibility type for the 2021 QBRED racing season and beyond - to complement the existing scheme and replace what was ‘International QBRED’ in 2020.

The scheme allows a mare once in her lifetime to foal a QBRED-eligible horse in Queensland, despite being inseminated interstate or overseas by a stallion not registered with QRIC (ie: not standing in Queensland). 

To assist breeders in determining their horse’s eligibility for Transitional QBRED, please note the following conditions. The resultant foal/horse is:

  • The progeny of a mare inseminated outside of Queensland with the semen of a registered standardbred stallion and born in Queensland;
  • There is no other horse that is the progeny of the same mare that has previously been or currently is a QBRED horse (ie: the foal must be the mares first QBRED eligible foal);
  • A request form has been provided to RQ in respect of the horse and the request form has been accepted by RQ:  Click here to access the Request Form;
  • On the day the horse is born:
    • Where there is one owner, the owner is a resident of Queensland; or
    • Where there is more than one owner, a 50% or greater (in aggregate) ownership interest in the horse is held by residents of Queensland; and
  • The QBRED foal fee has been paid within one year of the horse being born.  RQ will invoice the foal fee on receipt and acceptance of the request form.

The inception of ‘Transitional QBRED’ followed feedback from breeders who expressed an interest in bringing mares to Queensland to qualify for the many benefits of the QBRED scheme.

Queensland breeders had previously outlined difficulties with relocating mares that are already in foal, and concerns that it could result in the resultant foal not being eligible for QBRED.
