SARGA.CO – Have you ever come across a racehorse with a name that sounds unfamiliar, even though you’re sure you’ve seen it race before? In the world of horse racing, changing a racehorse’s name isn’t a forbidden practice—in fact, it happens more often than one might think.
However, the process comes with specific rules to ensure the horse’s racing history remains clear and traceable.
According to Danang Yulianto, Secretary of the Racing Commission at PP PORDASI, it is indeed possible to rename a racehorse, particularly when ownership has changed hands.
Danang told SARGA News in a recent interview.
For example, if a horse originally named Bagnaia is sold to a new owner and renamed Marques, official race books or documentation will list the horse as Marques (formerly Bagnaia).
This ensures that the horse’s identity and performance record remain traceable within the racing circuit.
New owners may decide to rename a horse for various reasons, such as:
Even if a horse’s name changes, its records—performance, pedigree, and medical history—are maintained based on its complete identity. This is crucial to prevent data manipulation and to uphold transparency in the racing world.
So, if your favorite racehorse suddenly appears under a new name, don’t be confused—it’s likely still the same champion, just racing under a new banner!
