Horse ID

I had to make sure all horses that were running had current coggins on file. I collected, secured, and monitored foal papers and digital certificates for all horses on grounds and that were racing. For all the claiming races I had the check the claim box, when there was a claim I had to following proper claiming procedures to insure the proper personal were informed. Some mornings I would fill in and help with entries. I would assist the racing secretary with the drawing of the race card, which included putting the draw on the computer and smoking the overnights.
