Question
How can I trace my registered thoroughbred by his numbers (the ones tattooed on his upper lip) I know he raced and would like to find out about his finishes and breeding.

Thanks!  

Answer
Dear Holly,
         A vet can probably assist you better then me, But if he has papers and is registered, you can enter him in a data base based on his registry number. But here is a website showing you where to get the lip tatto info from, it does cost $35 and $15 extra if you want more info

This site also explains it in more detail.
