Not that I agree with racing her cause I don't.

from drf's article:

Rick Trontz, a central Kentucky breeder who had claimed the horse for $32,000 from the Del Mar race but had no luck with her as a producer, said Tuesday he gave the mare to Costello, a former employee, but only with the stipulation that Grand Forks be used strictly as a pleasure horse.


might explain why she claimed she needed the papers for a pleasure event. why else would he have kept them, unless to keep the horse from breeding/racing? and keep in mind that a verbal agreement is legally binding.
