Section 1307.80  Lip Tattooing or Freeze Branding

No horse shall be permitted to start in a race unless it has been lip tattooed or freeze branded with an identifying number. The stewards may allow a horse to race once without a tattoo or freeze brand. Thereafter, the horse must be tattooed or freeze branded or the trainer must show evidence that arrangements have been made to comply with this provision.  If satisfactory evidence is presented to the stewards, the horse may be permitted to race.
