Action Summary This section states that a Thoroughbred horse must have a lip tattoo for identification purposes in order to start in a race. The amended language allows for the use of a microchip implanted in a Thoroughbred horse’s neck to be used instead of a lip tattoo for identification purposes. This is being done to accommodate horses from Europe and other countries where microchips are now being used for the identification of racehorses.
