The Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association is hereby recognized as the sole official registrar for purposes of registering of accredited thoroughbred horses foaled in Louisiana. When a horse is registered with the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association, the association shall be authorized to stamp the Jockey Club certificate with the seal of the association, certifying that this foal is an accredited Louisiana bred foal. The association may charge a reasonable registration fee for its services and, in order to carry out the functions of registering accredited thoroughbred horses, it may appoint a committee or employ a secretary.
