Initiative of the Jockey Club Traceability Advances

The Jockey Club's traceability effort, which was described in detail during the 2023 Round Table Conference, is set to debut this summer, the organisation announced in an early-morning release on Wednesday.

The Registry advises anyone who no longer owns the horse and has a digital certificate of foal registration in their account to transfer the certificate to the horse's current owner or the relevant certificate manager in order to be ready.

The Jockey Club's registrar, Rick Bailey, stated, “We strongly encourage everyone to log on to Interactive Registration and check that the horses in their accounts are still in their possession. Traceability is a priority for the Thoroughbred industry, and The Jockey Club's commitment in this area, demonstrated by this project and others, underscores that significance.”

In the first phase of the program, certificate managers of horses that have not raced in the last two years and have not received a Thoroughbred Incentive Program number will receive email prompts. Racetracks and sales companies will be the main emphasis of the first phase.

According to Kristin Werner, senior counsel for The Jockey Club, “The goal of the traceability initiative is to ensure that every horse's certificate stays with the horse, which is where it belongs. Whereabouts of registered Thoroughbreds will improve our understanding of where Thoroughbreds go after their racing and breeding careers in addition to supporting aftercare initiatives.”
