Foal and yearling stages for all foals between 2014 and 2018 will have the breeder marked as the payee in GBB. No late registrations to GBB are possible. Foals of 2019 must have already been registered for the foal and yearling stages as previously advertised. Foals of 2020 must have already been registered for the foal stage as previously advertised. The deadlines for further registrations for these crops and for the foal crop of 2021 onwards are detailed in the table below. Again, no late registrations are possible.

Registration General
Late entry will only be accepted if one or more of the following conditional precedents apply:
- Access to the GBB website is not available. Should this apply, registrants must show evidence of genuine attempts to register via appropriately dated emails or calls to either TBA or Weatherbys Helpline prior to the registration deadline.
- The GBB website does not accept registration and/or payment. There must be evidence that attempts to register on the website have been made, and emails or calls to TBA and Helpline prior to the deadline.
- Delayed foal registration to the General Stud Book and therefore the foal does not appear as eligible on GBB website. This will only apply if the delay is demonstrably outside the control of the breeder or registrant.
