DECLARATIONS/DISCLOSURES
Vendors are reminded as to the importance of any pre-sale declarations. If you have a yearling that has been seen to windsuck, the auctioneer must be advised, preferably in writing, of this in advance of the sale and vendors are encouraged to advise prospective buyers during inspections.

A vendor may request that the auctioneer declare that a yearling is a rig as it enters the sale ring.
