Kildare equine company continues international streak
Pierce Dargan, Chief Executive Officer of Equine MediRecord
KILDARE-based Equine MediRecord partnered up with Hong Kong Jockey Club to set up their revolutionary software platform for all international horses that will race in this year’s international race day at Sha Tin this December.
This new version of the Equine MediRecord platform helps trainers and veterinarians based outside Hong Kong to easily comply with the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s equine welfare protocols.
The platform will support the highly prestigious group 1 international races such as the Longines Hong Kong Cup, Longines Hong Kong Mile, Longines Hong Kong Sprint and Longines Hong Kong Vase.
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. Once records are entered into the system they cannot be altered, providing integrity and transparency for all concerned.
Equine MediRecord’s platform has seen extensive international traction after its launch only a number of years ago, and has already amassed an impressive list of clients including the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Racing Organisation, the British Horseracing Authority, Racing Victoria, the Pegasus World Cup, the Preakness Stakes and the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
In 2022, Equine MediRecord also received a multi-million dollar investment from Merits Holdings to become part of their Business Infusions group, the largest equine veterinary software group in the world.
Pierce Dargan, Chief Executive Officer of Equine MediRecord said “We are thrilled about our partnership with the Hong Kong Jockey Club and are doing all we can to help support their team to ensure that the best horse welfare protocols are followed for this year’s international races in Sha Tin.”
“We are excited to work with the Hong Kong Jockey Club who is a global leader in horse racing, and hope their adoption of our system will lead more equine organisations who want to ensure the best equine welfare and bio-security protocols are being followed at their events.”
