Can I collect race information from participants in New Mexico? What are the requirements?
To collect race information from participants in New Mexico, you must first obtain a license from the New Mexico Racing Commission [15.1.5.13 NMAC]. However, if you are asking about collecting race information from horses participating in claiming races, there are additional requirements. According to [15.2.4.8 NMAC], a person entering a horse in a claiming race must warrant that the title to said horse is free and clear of any existing claim or lien, either as security interest mortgage, bill of sale, or lien of any kind. Additionally, a filly or mare that has been bred is ineligible to enter into a claiming race unless a licensed veterinarian’s certificate dated at least 25 days after the last breeding of that mare is on file with the racing secretary’s office stating that the mare or filly is not in foal.
Therefore, to collect race information from participants in New Mexico, you must first obtain a license from the New Mexico Racing Commission and follow the guidelines outlined in the regulations [15.1.5.13 NMAC]. If you are collecting race information from horses participating in claiming races, you must also ensure that the horse’s title is free and clear of any existing claim or lien and that a filly or mare that has been bred has a licensed veterinarian’s certificate stating that the mare or filly is not in foal.
