Don't you need registered works to race?

I bred a filly that is entered to run on the weekend in Kentucky. She has not had any registered works. Will she be allowed to run? If so, is this common? If not why would she be entered?

Thanks

Quite possibly the horse has been working at a training centre that forgot to send in the works or Equibase missed them.

Thanks Ryeno!

I was under the impression that a horse had to ship in to a track from a training centre in order to record works. Who'da thought?! Well hopefully she kicks a$$ :lol:

There are hundreds of training centers throughout North America but not all can record official works for the Jockey Club,it is a ramshackle system whereby any works can be submitted to cover the rules of racing per individual tracks, however generally it gets the job done. What is the horse's name? I would love to follow it's progress.

Hi,

If it is the horse I think it is, (obviously you know) it was scratched, and still has no registered works at all as of Wednesday morning.

Hard to imagine why it was entered. Perhaps stable help entered the wrong horse.

No, you have to have a recorded work in order to race. They do not accept training farm works unless they went through the official certification process for recording works.

If you are a maiden I think you need 2 works plus a gate card.

I believe if I remember correctly....If it has been over 6 months since a horse last raced than they need a work. Less than 6 months, they do not.
