Title: USTA MEMBERSHIP QUESTION
Post by: drawbar on September 23, 2018, 07:59:46 AM
I'm trying to figure out if you have to be a member of the usta to race horses or not? I pay my dues diligently every year, yet after searching I see a lot do not, including many big names ( i.e rene allard since 2014). If they don't need to be a member with all the tracks he races at with no problems, why should I or anyone else for that matter join ?? seems like a waste of money if not mandatory?

When I used to own horses I did the same I just paid my dues and wondered what good is it.  I just remember that if you aren’t a member and try to claim a horse they could deny the claim.

It’s up to the individual state

Not the track?

Pompano says in the rules you need to but

I highly doubt they even check or know

Doesn’t the state racing commission tell the track what to do?
