The overall registration rate of RID mares to filly foals born from 1991 to 2000 now stands at 44.06 %. Thirty-five of the 60 two year olds presented were approved as RID out of a foal crop of 181.
Registrations out of AID mares. Forty of the applicants for RID (24.5%) were out of AID mares of which 36 (23.5%) were presented and 24 (66.7%) of these were passed. So 27.3% of the mares approved as RID were out of AID dams. Norman Storey, B.Agr.Sc.
