Tattoo Research December 21st, 2009
All thoroughbreds must be tattooed before entering a race. The horse has a tattoo consisting of one letter and five numbers applied under the upper lip. The first letter represents the year foaled (see table below) and the numbers are the last five digits of the seven digit Jockey Club registration number.
We will also be happy to help you identify a horse if needed. Please fill out the contact form here.
