1/ST Racing Partners With Equine MediRecord For Pegasus World Cup

1/ST, owned by the Stronach Group, will partner with Equine MediRecord (EMR) to digitize equine welfare protocols for this year's running of the Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park Jan. 27, the Irish technology company said in a release Thursday morning.

The added measure will enhance the stringent equine health and safety protocols, and make the process even easier as EMR representatives will be onsite to help log each horse's information into their system.

The platform allows for the full veterinary history of the horse to be collected digitally and recorded securely. Use will be mandatory and provide the opportunity to comply with strict medication protocols. Veterinarians can send required medical record information directly to HISA, which reduces the need for double entry.

“We are excited about our partnership with 1/ST and doing all we can to help ensure that best horse welfare and transparency protocols are followed in equine sport while ensuring participants do not have to enter information multiple times to be cleared,” said Pierce Dargan, Equine MediRecord's CEO.

The Irish company's list of clients and users include the Thoroughbred Owners of California, Maryland 5 Star, Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, the Arabian Racing Organization, Breeders' Cup World Championships and the Saudi Cup.
