Kildare-based Equine MediRecord will be 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. This will allow all this information to be collected digitally.
Integrity of this information will be ensured using the Equine MediRecord system and its algorithms which will guarantee the compliance for all horses who participate before they race, ensuring the best possible equine welfare.
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, Thoroughbred Owners of California, Maryland 5 Star, Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, the Arabian Racing Organisation, Pegasus World Cup, Preakness Stakes and Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
In 2022 Equine MediRecord 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.
“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,” said Pierce Dargan, Chief Executive Officer of Equine MediRecord and named in the 202o Sport for Business PwC 30 Under 30.
“We are excited to have our Arabic version of our Equine MediRecord system, which was developed with Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia’s support, used for the local Saudi racehorses. 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.”
