6. Authority to Act

An authority to act authorises another individual - most often a licensed trainer (or their appointed sub-agent) - to carry out various administrative tasks on your behalf including adding horses into your ownership, completing registration forms and making entries and declarations. You will need an authority to act for each trainer you have a horse with as a Sole or Company owner. In the case of a Partnership, only one Partner will need an authority to act with the trainer. For Syndicates and Racing Clubs only one of the Syndicators/Club Managers will need an authority to act with the trainer.

As part of this application you can register an authority to act or, alternatively, skip this step to register one at a later time. The fee for registering an authority to act is £65.67 (and if you are an ROA member a discount will be applied).

I understand that such an appointment will entitle the authorised agent or their sub-agent to:

  • Sign ownership registration forms on my behalf (including, without limitation, those concerning Partnerships, Syndicates, Racing Clubs, colours and sponsorship);
  • Amend Partnerships, where allowed, on my behalf (including updating the composition and split of percentage shares);
  • Maintain, share and transfer colours on my behalf;
  • Terminate any registrations in which I am involved, including ones linked to horses with another trainer, on my behalf (including those concerning Partnerships, Syndicates, Racing Clubs, leases, colours and sponsorships where applicable);
  • Make entries, declarations to run, jockey bookings, declarations of forfeit and confirmations of entry;
  • Submit and sign transfer of engagements on my behalf;
  • Submit and sign non-racing agreements on my behalf;
  • View horses in my ownership;
  • View and update contact details on my behalf.
