which would result in fraud charges. a big stable tried to do that a couple years ago, several employees were fired, and several others involved had a hard time scraping all the egg off their face.

You do get in trouble if you get caught. Horses are born before Jan. 1st and not reported until later all the time though.

JC's been cracking down last year or so. Farms with too many foals born the first few days of January have started getting visits from JC people around New Years to take note of those 2 week-old 'newborns'.
