What is the JC rule on reusing names?

Does the horse have to be inactive or deceased for five years before the name is elligible again? Or am I way off? Thanks

The name will appear in the "Recently Released Names" as available if the horse who had the name is (1) over ten years old and (2) has had no activity for the preceding five years (breeding or racing).

Thanks, both of you for the info.

The sire of my yearling is an actively breeding son of Storm Cat, he is registered with the JC as her sire, is just 10 years old, but still obviously active in breeding multiple mares, he lives in Lexington, yet I saw that they released the name to a 2009 colt.

I was confused when I saw this; I wrote the JC, but have heard nothing to date. His owner said that should not have happened as he is indeed registered as a stallion, and has, as I said, multiple foals both in Lexington and the East Coast.

Did they give it to a Mike Pegram horse? I've noticed that naming restrictions simply do not appear to apply to certain owners.

Was either horse bred in a different country?

We had a mare who was only 14 having foals every year as well as winning foals including a stakes horse show up with another horse running under the same name even the spelling was the same

The stallion that I'm talking about that sired my yearling and many other foals at the moment, was born in the USA. He was named on there (the JC names registry) and had his year of birth, 1998, and obviously when I sent in my filly's papers, I listed him as the sire and the papers were accepted right away.

Madelyn, LOL, does Pegram have some rules bent, maybe, for names?
I love how you come out with little bits of info. here and again!

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

I would say that Isitingood was definitely bending the rules.
