Kildare company partners with Saudi Arabia jockey club

KILDARE-BASED company Equine MediRecord will be going international once again, deploying their revolutionary software platform for all the horses racing in this year’s two day Saudi Cup event.

This includes an Arabic version of the Equine MediRecord platform to help all the Saudi based trainers and veterinarians more easily use the system to help clear the Saudi based horses through the festival’s equine welfare protocols.

The platform will support the highly prestigious Group 1 Saudi Cup, the world’s most valuable horse race.

The Equine MediRecord platform allows for the full veterinary history of the horse to be recorded securely, ensuring the best possible horse welfare as well as aiding with crucial anti-doping procedures. This platform will provide all entrants, trainers and vets, a system to comply with the latest anti-doping and animal welfare measures.

Equine MediRecord’s platform has seen extensive international traction after its launch only a number of years ago having already amassed an impressive list of clients and users including the British Horseracing Authority, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Thoroughbred Owners of California, Racing Victoria, the Arabian Racing Organisation, Pegasus World Cup, Preakness Stakes and Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

The new system EMR has developed for the Saudi Cup 2025 which will automatically inform trainers from across the world of the safety and integrity regulations that need to be followed and what documents need to be submitted through the system to allow horses to run at the Saudi Cup. Once records are entered into the system they cannot be altered, providing integrity and transparency for all concerned.

Pierce Dargan, Chief Executive Officer of Equine MediRecord said “We are thrilled about our partnership with the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia and doing all we can to help again ensure that the best horse welfare and transparency protocols are followed for this year’s Saudi Cup.” “We hope this will drive adoption of our system by more equine events in the region who want to ensure the best equine welfare and bio-security protocols are being followed at their events.”
