The Korea Racing Authority concluded its 2026 breeding support program on June 30.

The breeding support program is a key initiative of the Korea Racing Authority that annually utilizes outstanding stallions to support private breeding farms in mating their broodmares, aiming to increase farmers' income and secure high-quality Gyeongju horse resources.

This year, a total of 274 mares were supported for breeding at Jeju Ranch. The most notable feature of this breeding season was the overwhelming popularity of 'Nix Go'. Having gained significant expectations as a world No. 1 ranked stallion with victories such as the Breeders' Cup Classic in the United States, Nix Go arrived in Korea and mated with a total of 126 broodmares this year — nearly half of all supported breeding mares.

A Korea Racing Authority official, speaking to The Chosun Ilbo by phone, stated, "We successfully completed this year's breeding support under thorough safety management and systematic health care."
