Licensing?

Hi everyone, I’m super new to all of this!

I was about to contact the National Racing Compact for licensing help but mostly for one question. Im currently from Ontario and have my SC and AGCO licenses, but I’m interesting in buying shares in horses like La Doriane (I love a Trixton filly). I know she in particular is sold out publicly, but should a similar horse become available, can I buy into these shares without an NJ owners license? 

Just curious if anyone knows or has experience. Thanks for putting this together!

Hi Katie!

Welcome to the Forum!! 

New Jersey, unfortunately like New York, requires you to be licensed in those states even if you own just one share.

You also have to be licensed by the United State Trotting Association.  Thankfully that license isn't expensive (not like New York and, I assume, New Jersey).  This the USTA link to join, https://members.ustrotting.com/membership.cfm

You can also confirm with Linda Henry of TheStable.ca.  Her email address is linda@thestable.ca

Katie,

As long as you're a member of SC you don't need to join the USTA. If you plan on being licensed in multiple states in the US the NRC is the way to go, Once your registered with them they will get you licensed in any state with a phone call.

Mark,

Thank you!  I learned something today.  

Does it work the other way?  I'm a USTA member, so far no horses have raced in Canada.  If they do, do I need to get licensed by Standardbred Canada?

No, but you'd need a AGCO license.

Thanks Lonnie, you’re a great help!

I’ll look into the NJ licensing tonight. Hopefully it’s fairly quick. 

Thanks again!

You're welcome!  Mark made a good point about the USTA license being reciprocal.  I didn't know about that, so I learned something new.  Good thing I have lots and lots still to learn.

Where or how do you go about getting fingerprinted?  It's been over forty years since I had a license.

Years ago, when my friend got licensed in New York, he went to a Police Precinct to get finger printed.
