What Is A Sold WIthout Pedigree Form?

Under Jockey Club Rule 18 it states the following:

18. SOLD WITHOUT PEDIGREE
A. Any owner who desires a horse no longer to be considered a Thoroughbred for racing or breeding purposes must promptly surrender the Certificate of Foal Registration to The Jockey Club within 60 days after the date of sale with an accompanying notation that the horse was transferred or sold "without pedigree." The notation must be signed by the owner or authorized agent and indicate the date of disposition. In the event the owner or authorized agent surrenders the Certificate of Foal Registration to The Jockey Club in the above manner more than 60 days after the date of transfer or sale, then the new owner or transferee must also submit a statement that the horse was purchased or received without pedigree.
        
B. Upon receipt in The Jockey Club Registry Office, the respective Certificate of Foal Registration will be cancelled. Once the registration is cancelled, the horse cannot be reinstated into the registry, and a Duplicate Certificate of Foal Registration will not be issued.
        
C. Notations upon a Certificate of Foal Registration which do not clearly indicate transferred or sold without pedigree, including notations such as "not to be raced," shall not result in cancellation of the Certificate of Foal Registration. Such notations could be regarded as defacing the Certificate of Foal Registration. Submission to The Jockey Club of any such defaced Certificate of Foal Registration may cause a Corrected Certificate of Foal Registration to be issued.
_____________________________________________________________

The R.A.C.E Fund has educated several horsemen organizations, horse rescues and numerous owners and trainers about this form. Surprisingly, there are still many owners and trainers that are not aware of this form and its purpose. If an owner of a thoroughbred horse wants to ensure that their horse's foal papers are cancelled after the horse is retired from racing, the owner of the horse and the purchaser can sign a Sold Without Pedigree Form which will permanently cancel the horse’s foal papers and no duplicate set of papers can be requested in the future.
Owners and Trainers please take the time to do the necessary paperwork when retiring your horses to protect the horse and you. It will be well worth the effort. The option to utilize the Sold Without Pedigree if you choose to do so is an added plus.
