THE JOCKEY CLUB HAS ANNOUNCED: Thoroughbred Connect, part of their Interactive RegistrationTM program. Thoroughbred Connect allows customers to express their willingness to be contacted by the possessor of a horse in the event the horse is in need of placement. Those interested in providing assistance or aftercare have the ability to attach their name and contact information to the electronic records of specific Thoroughbreds within The Jockey Club’s database. Similarly, a person who is seeking placement for a Thoroughbred in his possession can log into Thoroughbred Connect and request the contact information attached to a particular horse. The possessor of the horse may then contact that prospective owner directly to perform due diligence and discuss potential arrangements to transfer the horse. The Jockey Club will record and track microchips, a big help to keep pets from the slaughter house by sales or placements that go wrong, and to identify horses that are lost or stolen. The Jockey Club recently lowered the price of microchips from $20 to $10, and we encourage those who have not microchipped their Thoroughbreds to consider doing so at this time. Help ensure that your horse is traceable - have them microchipped! Jockey James Lopez visited a former mount at Second Stride. "Governor General" was adopted in May 2010 and now resides in Georgia.
