From the stallion owner's perpective, the stallion award portion of the NY Breeding Fund is pretty generous; the stallion owner gets a percentage of all progeny earnings in NY. In some cases, it's better to get the mares here in NY and then get the stallion awards when the offspring run than be lost in the shuffle in a place like KY.
From the breeders' perspective, the incentives to breed to a NY stallion are far less. Certainly, if you want to get a yearling in the summer sales at Saratoga, you almost have to have a NY-bred by a KY-sire (unless your last name is Thomas or McMahon).
