Section 71IAC7-1-16. Engagement passed to new owner

   (a) When a horse is sold, its engagements pass to the new owner unless otherwise specified in the terms of the sale. When a horse is claimed out of a claiming or optional claiming race, its engagements pass to the claimant. In no case, however, shall the engagements pass with the horse to a person not in good standing.

  (b) No horse owned in whole or in part by a non-Indiana resident shall race in a restricted race as Indiana owned, regardless of its status at the time of registration, nomination, or entry.

  (c) Except in cases of horses claimed out of claiming races, no sale of a horse by private agreement or public auction will be recognized if such sale is not evidenced by a bill of sale and not recorded by the United States Trotting Association.
