The Illinois Department of Agriculture requires that all Standardbred foals be duly certified with the Bureau of Horse Racing to participate in the Illinois Standardbred Breeders Fund program. A certificate is issued to the owner of the foal at the time of Illinois registration and is passed on from owner to owner; this certificate must be transferred into the new owner’s name as soon as possible after purchase.
