Eligibility Requirements for Racing Stock (Starting With Foals of 1992)

PURPOSE: This rule sets forth eligibility requirements for racing stock starting with foals of 1992. (1) To be eligible to be registered in the fund, each horse shall be foaled in Missouri to a broodmare duly registered in the fund. The broodmare must meet all eligibility and registration requirements. (2) The foal must be registered with the Racing Commission within thirty (30) days from the date a horse is foaled in Missouri. Foals not registered within thirty (30) days may register by December 31 of the year foaled for a late fee of two hundred dollars ($200). The registration form must contain the date of foaling, sire, dam, the name of the owner of the foaling dam, the date the foal was born and an owner’ statement that the foal was born in Missouri. Failure to register the horse by December 31 of the year of foaling will disqualify any subsequent claims for breeders’ award payments or for the foal to be registered as a Missouri-bred. (3) Prior to a horse becoming eligible for awards from the fund, the owner shall forward The Jockey Club registration certificate or the American Quarter Horse Association certificate by certified mail to the commission. A photocopy will not be considered sufficient. If the horse has met all the requirements for registration, the commission shall affix its official seal on the face of the certificate which shall include the commission’s registration number for that horse. Failure to have the foal certificate embossed shall disqualify any claim to enter the horse in a restricted race or to earn any breeders’ owners’ or stallion owners’ awards. (4) The certification on The Jockey Club registration certificate or the American Quarter Horse Association certificate will be the official registration certificate for the fund. (5) If the certificate is lost, destroyed or replaced, the duplicate certificate for that horse shall be recertified by the commission to be valid for the fund.
