The Jockey Club Registry Aug. 8 issued its 100,000th digital certificate of foal registration to a gray colt by Tacitus (Tapit), out of Jibboom by Mizzen Mast, the organization said in a release Thursday.
The foal, born on Feb. 10, was bred and is owned by Juddmonte, which is also the original certificate manager.
“We are pleased that digital certificates have been so well-received,” said Rick Bailey, registrar for The Jockey Club. “Digital certificates have streamlined the registration process and transfer of certificates, certificates can no longer be damaged or lost, and they will help with initiatives such as tracing Thoroughbreds when they leave the racetrack or breeding shed.”
The transition to digital foal certificates from hardcopies began with the 2018 foal crop. The first digital certificate was issued to a foal born at WinStar Farm on Feb. 19, 2018, by Pioneerof the Nile out of Mildly Offensive, later named Chiu Chow Warrior.
