horse shall not be entered or raced in this state unless duly registered and
named in the appropriate breed registry and unless the registration certificate
or racing permit issued by the breed registry for such horse is on file with

parenthetically in the daily race program the first 3 times the horse races
after the name change.
(4) A person
shall not at any time cause or permit the correct identity of a horse to be
concealed or altered and shall not refuse to reveal, to a racing official, the
correct identity of a horse he or she owns or has in his or her care.
(5) A horse shall not race in this state
until properly identified by natural markings and shall not race without a
legible lip tattoo number or unique microchip applied by agents of the
Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau or other recognized agencies.
(6) A horse shall not be entered or raced in
this state if previously involved in either of the following situations
