To race in NJ, PA, and NY does a horse have to be registered to the licensed owner thru the USTA ? To change owner with the USTA, how long does it take for it to be posted on their site with the new information? Was looking for a horse that hasn't raced in a a few months on the USTA site and the owner was a person who had died years ago and the horse had been racing the last few years under a owner/lesee who is alive. The last date of ownership was in 2016. But according to the USTA records the horse is owned by a person that died years ago. Like a "ghost ship/ I mean horse).
