According to AI "The age requirement to warm up a horse for a parimutuel race can vary depending on the specific regulations of the racing jurisdiction. Generally, individuals involved in handling and warming up horses at racetracks are required to be licensed, and the minimum age for obtaining such a license is typically 18 years old"

State specific I guess. Labor laws too, LOL. What about having to be licensed as a trainer (or driver) to warm up a horse on a pari-mutuel race card, or can a groom do it?

I don't know about today, but back in the late 60's I warmed up horses(Mr. Cinn Abby) in Chicago as a teenager with only an IL. Racing Board grooms license and a USTA fair drivers license.
But that was years and years ago.

How do people who just warm up horses get into the paddock legally?

Do they have "Warm Up"(lol) license that qualifies them to get in?

I thought if you were not grooming a certain horse that night only trainers and owners of said horse racing could enter the paddock? Whose workmen comp do you enter under?

Just curious

Colors needed or you'll be fined.

A talented 10 year old with little to no experience is better than a 60 year old clown who don't care

The only reason you are trying to make this a big deal is that you have an issue with the child’s parents. He is 13 and looked very capable warming up 😃
Maybe the best thing to do is mind your own business
