Consult with your Trainer for a professional opinion on what to look for in a Thoroughbred. TOC does offer information on horse conformation as well. Email info@toconline.com to receive a copy.
Registering your thoroughbred(s) and silks are also mandatory. You will need to meet with the track’s Clerk of the Course. Read more about track officials at the link below.
