Jockey Club Enhances Graded Stakes Race Vet Record Reporting

In an effort to encourage transparency in Thoroughbred racing, The Jockey Club has enhanced and automated the system that enables owners or their agents to upload veterinary medical treatment records for horses running in graded stakes races.
 
“The enhancements streamline the upload of veterinary records so it is fast and convenient via mobile device or computer,” said Matt Iuliano, The Jockey Club's executive vice president and executive director.
 
The system is available at horseracingreform.org, and it can be accessed starting with the April 24 graded stakes races.
 
When owners participate, their names will immediately be added to the list of those who have decided to voluntarily make public their horses’ veterinary records and they will be directed to select the racing entities with which they are associated, such as stable names or partnerships.
 
Each time a horse associated with one of the racing entities is entered into a graded stakes race a series of automated emails will be generated that will notify the owner to upload veterinary records. Owners can also designate an agent to receive the email alerts with instructions to upload the records.
