Trainer Withdrawal
Once a Trainer is accepted into the Thoroughbred Makeover, he or she may withdraw at any time by notifying the RRP office via phone or email.
Trainer Replacement
In situations where an approved Trainer has a horse registered in the Thoroughbred Makeover, and that Trainer becomes unable to partic- ipate due to extraordinary personal circumstances outside their control, the Trainer can seek permission from the RRP to nominate a replacement Trainer. The nominated replacement Trainer must be a member of the RRP and submit a Thoroughbred Makeover Trainer Application. The application fee will be waived. The RRP Thoroughbred Makeover Selection Committee will review the application and notify both original and replacement Trainer of its decision within 48 hours.
Trainer replacements are not accepted after July 31, 2020.
Catch rides at the Thoroughbred Makeover are permitted under ex- tenuating circumstances at the discretion of event management. Trainers wishing to have a catch rider present their horse in competition must submit their request in writing to the show office no later than three hours prior to their scheduled ride. The catch rider must be of the same classification as the Trainer (professional, junior, or amateur) and the RRP may request additional documentation to support the need for a catch rider.
Horse Eligibility and Registration
Horse Eligibility
To be eligible for the 2020 Thoroughbred Makeover, horses must meet the following four requirements:
1) Must be registered with The Jockey Club and have a lip tattoo or
Jockey Club microchip. Thoroughbreds from foreign countries must have equivalent registration and identification. Note that horses who meet the other requirements of eligibility but were never tattooed can be microchipped with Jockey Club approval or tattooed in advance of the Thoroughbred Makeover if they have registration papers and proper identification. All horses bound to compete in Kentucky must have a Jockey Club-registered microchip number recorded on their Final Entry form regardless of whether or not they are already tattooed. See Microchipping in the Horse Welfare section for further information.
