Section R19-2-122. Transfers

A.      Any change in the ownership or lease of a horse registered with the racing secretary must be effected by a bill of sale or lease agreement.

1.        A copy of the bill of sale or lease agreement shall be filed in the track office of the Department and with the racing secretary.

2.        The stewards shall be advised of any change in the own- ership or trainer transfer of a horse registered with the racing secretary.

3.        A horse shall not be transferred to a new trainer after entry.

4.        More than one owner may be indicated on the program by the use of the name of one owner and the phrase “et al.”

B.       If a horse is sold with all its engagements or any part of them, the seller shall not strike it from such engagements.

1.        In all private sales, the written acknowledgment of both parties that the horse was sold with all, or part of, its engagements is necessary to entitle the seller or buyer to the benefit of this rule. If certain engagements are speci- fied, only those engagements so specified shall be sold with the horse.

2.        In all public auctions, the advertised conditions of the sale are sufficient evidence of sale with all engagements. If certain engagements are specified, only those engage- ments so specified shall be sold with the horse.

3.        If a horse is transferred with its engagements, that horse shall not be eligible to start in any stakes race unless, at the time of the running of the stakes or prior thereto, the transfer of the horse and its engagements is exhibited upon demand to the racing secretary.

4.        No transfer of a horse or an engagement shall be made for the purpose of avoiding disqualification.
