Any stallion standing in the UK or Ireland can be nominated and all foals born in the UK or Ireland of stallions nominated in the covering year are eligible to race. The fee is £250 per stallion. The first payment is for coverings in 2012 and 2013, so all foals from that stallion in 2013 and 2014 will be automatically nominated to the series. From 2014 the fee will be £250 per year for that year of coverings. All stallion fees include advertising on the BHRC website and in the Calendar.
There is a page on the BHRC website for the Sire Stakes where all nominated horses can be viewed:
