The Michigan bred programs provides, from the Department of Agriculture, funding of purse revenue for horses that qualify as a Michigan bred.  These funds are budgeted by the Legislature.  A Michigan bred must be foaled in the State of Michigan and registered with the Department of Agriculture.  The funded races must take place in Michigan.

Restricted Races:  A restricted Michigan bred race is only for Michigan breds and the purse is supplemented by Department of Agriculture funding.  These races generally allow for Michigan breds to be more competitive and to run for increased purses.  Special Stakes races (approx. 20) occur throughout the year where the purse level will approach $50,000.00.

Breeder's Awards:  This program offers the breeder of a race winner at least 10% of the gross purse.  Depending on how many winners a breeders has can produce a significant amount of award revenue throughout the year.

Owners Awards:  This program offers additional funds to an owner of a Michigan bred that runs 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a race that is not restricted to Michigan breds.  These are called "open" races.

Sire Stakes:  The Sire Stakes program represents six (6) races valued at approximately $100,000.00 each.  This program is for horses that are sired by stallions that stand in Michigan, but are not necessarily Michigan breds.
