You can sell or give away a horse w/ no papers but many "post race" homes (not nessessarily in SYDs case) WANT papers. They want to have a verifyable record of who the horse is. Within the show/sporthorse realms, pedigree and papers have become very important.
I'd like the JC to honor the wishes of owners who want to sell or give away a horse with papers that the animal will never return to racing.
