thoroughbred lip tattoo help

I'm still not at the right computer to post the link but I will get it tomorrow, today has been a real doozy for me.

OTTB's only get tattoos if they are expected to race as someone else said, they don't get them as foals. I recently found a website that shows old races of OTTB's it is very neat. There is alot of info on specific horses if you just search hard enough and type in the right stuff.

I have learned so much about my mare it's amazing!

The TRPB are the ones who actually do the tattooing. They are a little better to deal with than the JC when it comes to finding the identification of OTTB's. It will cost a fee, but they will help you as much as is humanly possible.

Here is one of them. As I said it only tells you the year but it's neat.

thanks so much to everyone here!! you helped me and didn't even know it! i have a rescued TB with a lip tattoo and i had no idea how old he was or any of his racing history, i put my order in to the jockey club and in the meantime, i'm going to check out the letter thing. i can't wait to get the information back and learn where he's from!!

thank you all, i'll let you know what i turn up
