Is my Thoroughbred eligible for the Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.)?

For purposes of eligibility for all T.I.P. classes and awards, a "Thoroughbred" is defined as any horse that has been registered with The Jockey Club (TJC) or a foreign Thoroughbred stud book recognized by TJC. There is no charge for a T.I.P. Number.

What do I need to provide to a horse show to prove that my horse is eligible for T.I.P.?

We have introduced a T.I.P. Number to make proof of eligibility for T.I.P. classes and awards easier for owners, riders and horse shows.
In order to participate in a T.I.P. class or be eligible for a T.I.P. award, owners and riders must obtain a T.I.P. Number. The T.I.P. Number card should be provided to participating horse shows as proof of eligibility. To obtain a T.I.P. Number, please go to My Account. There is no charge for a T.I.P. Number.

I have a Thoroughbred but do not know its registered name or I cannot read its tattoo, what can I do?

For purposes of eligibility for all T.I.P. classes and awards, a "Thoroughbred" is defined as any horse that has been registered with The Jockey Club or a foreign Thoroughbred stud book approved by The Jockey Club and the International Stud Book Committee.

If your horse is tattooed, you should research the tattoo using TJC’s FREE Tattoo Research Services. Horse owners who do not have access to a Thoroughbred's Certificate of Foal Registration and who are not able to successfully research a Thoroughbred’s tattoo may apply to The Jockey Club for assistance with identification of the horse.
