Owners and trainers are required to register with HISA to participate in Thoroughbred racing in New York. Their FAQs offer answers to many common inquiries, including:

How are multiple owners handled in the registration process? Are syndicates and clubs required to register all of their members? Are Owners who are not required to be licensed under state requirements also not required to register with HISA? How is the Responsible Person designated in a syndicate or club ownership group?
If all owners are required to be licensed by a state racing commission, all must register with HISA, and one of the owners must register as the horse’s Designated Owner. The Designated Owner will have the ability to share access to the horse’s information with the other owners. Owners who are not required to be licensed by a state racing commission are not required to register with HISA. If a horse is in training, the Responsible Person is typically the trainer.
