Pegasus Vet Records To Be Digitized

1/ST, owners of the Pegasus World Cup, will partner with Irish technology company Equine MediRecord to digitize veterinary records for this year's event, to be held this Saturday, Jan. 29, at Gulfstream Park.

The Equine MediRecord platform that will be used allows for the full veterinary history of the horse to be collected digitally and recorded securely. Use of this platform will be mandatory and will provide all entrants, trainers and veterinarians with a user-friendly system to comply with the strict medication protocols for this year's event. Once the records are entered into the system they cannot be altered. Results are submitted digitally to designated regulators and officials ensuring the highest level of integrity and transparency of veterinary records.

“The digitization of veterinary records for the Pegasus World Cup is an example of how 1/ST is innovating and using technology to improve our sport,” said Dr. Dionne Benson, Chief Veterinary Officer, 1/ST RACING. “The partnership with Equine MediRecord and the collection of this data is a tool that we can use to protect the safety and well-being of horses.”

The Irish company whose technology is fast becoming the global standard for equine sport organizers has already amassed an impressive list of clients and users including the Thoroughbred Owners of California, Irish Veterinary and Welfare Commission, Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, the Arabian Racing Organisation, Breeders' Cup World Championships and the Saudi Cup.

Champion British Idiom Dies In Japan At Age Four

British Idiom, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2019, died on Oct. 1, 2021 in Japan, per Japanese Studbook Database records.

A cause of death was not listed for the 4-year-old daughter of Flashback, who was pregnant for the first time to Japanese champion Duramente. The stallion died in September after a battle with colitis. A cause of death was not listed for British Idiom.

British Idiom was sold privately to the Yoshida family's Northern Farm in June 2020, and she arrived in Japan in September of that year.

Trained by Brad Cox for the partnership of Madaket Stables, Michael Dubb, and the Elkstone Group, British Idiom went undefeated during her championship 2-year-old campaign, taking her debut at Saratoga by 3 1/2 lengths, then shipping to Keeneland to trounce the Grade 1 Alcibiades Stakes by 6 1/2 lengths. She entered the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita Park as the betting public's second choice, and she wore down favorite Donna Veloce to prevail by a neck and secure the Eclipse Award.

After a three-month break, British Idiom started her 3-year-old season with a runner-up effort in the G2 Rachel Alexandra Stakes at Fair Grounds. Her final start came in the G3 Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn Park, where she finished 10th and exited the race with a chip in her right-front ankle.

The filly retired with three wins in five starts for earnings of $1,442,139.

British Idiom was bred in Kentucky by Hargus and Sandra Sexton and Silver Fern Farm, out of the stakes-winning Mr. Sekiguchi mare Rose and Shine. She sold as a yearling for $40,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale.
