Rule 3769-5-41 | Engagement passed to new owner.
(A) When a horse is sold, its engagements pass to the new owner unless otherwise specified in the terms of the sale. When a horse is claimed out of a claiming or optional claiming race, its engagements pass to the claimant. In no case, however, shall the engagements pass with the horse to a person not in good standing.
(B) Except in cases of horses claimed out of claiming races or purchased at public auction, no sale of a horse by private agreement will be recognized if such sale is not evidenced by a bill of sale notarized by the seller.
