This information includes the names of entrants, their sires, dams, and maternal grandsires, their wagering numbers, post positions, jockeys or drivers, assigned weight, morning line odds, owners and owners’ colors or drivers’ colors, trainers, sex color, year of birth, the distance and number of the race, amount of purse, and conditions and claiming price, if any. For harness races, the performance lines for at least the last six races of each entrant shall also be available. The availability of such information, and the procedures for obtaining same, shall prominently be displayed in the casino simulcasting facility. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a casino licensee from charging patrons a fee for providing such information. ^[2.1]

To qualify for such registration, the said horse must have been dropped by a mare in the State of New Jersey. “Breeder” of a horse is the owner of its dam at the time of foaling. ^[4.1]
