Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York Members of the New York State Legislature On behalf of the Board of Directors of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Corporation, I am pleased to present this annual report for 2014. This filing shows that the Thoroughbred breeding industry in the Empire State continues to make strides in recovering from the declines that affected the industry nationwide beginning several years ago. In fulfilling its mission to “support by monetary incentives the responsible breeding of quality Thoroughbred racehorses in keeping with the founding legislation to preserve New York’s irreplaceable farm land,” the Fund herein lays out all revenue, award payments, research funding, promotional spending and operational improvements made over the course of the year. The reputation of NY-breds was further enhanced during 2014 due to the performances of NY-breds in both restricted and open-company races, and was topped by the Breeders’ Cup turf win by Dayatthespa who was voted Eclipse Turf winner in mid-January of 2015.
