The Jockey Club announced March 23 that the 2023 edition of the Fact Book is available in the resources section of its website.
The online Fact Book is a statistical and informational guide to Thoroughbred breeding, racing, and auction sales in North America and is updated quarterly. It also features a directory of Canadian, international, national, and state organizations. Links to the breeding statistics report that is released by The Jockey Club each September and the report of mares bred information that is published by The Jockey Club each October can be found in the breeding section of the Fact Book.
This edition of the Fact Book includes updates to the reports of mares bred and breeding statistics sections. RMBs are now sortable by stallion name, number of mares bred, and state. The breeding statistics can be sorted by year and then by stallion name, mares bred, reports received, live foals, percent of live foals, and state. Both sections now have a search function.
The 2023 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.
In 2021, The Jockey Club took over the production of The American Racing Manual from Daily Racing Form, and the latest edition will be available as part of the Fact Book in the coming weeks.
