1/ST, owners of the Pegasus World Cup, announced Jan. 24 a partnership with Irish technology company Equine MediRecord to digitize veterinary records for this year's event. This added measure will enhance the stringent equine health and safety protocols that will be in place for the race at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, Jan. 29.

The Equine MediRecord platform that will be used for the 2022 Pegasus World Cup allows for the full veterinary history of the horse to be collected digitally and recorded securely. Use of this innovative 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. Integrity of the veterinary information will be ensured using the unique algorithms found in the Equine MediRecord technology. 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 wellbeing of horses. 1/ST is committed to integrity and accountability, and this is another measure available to us to enforce those standards.”

New Equine, Jockey Welfare And Safety Legislation Signed Into Law In California

The following was provided by the California Horse Racing Board.

The California Horse Racing Board appreciates the passage and signing into law of SB 800 and AB 1974. Both bills strengthen the state of California's commitment to equine and jockey welfare and safety.

SB 800, by Senator Bill Dodd, provides greater access to veterinary records for racehorses, requires the reporting/publication of equine fatalities that occur at facilities regulated by the CHRB, and requires the publication of positive post-race test findings within five business days of their confirmation. In anticipation of this bill becoming law, the CHRB already is posting equine fatalities on its website: EQUINE FATALITIES

AB 1974, by Assembly Member Adam Gray, provides for a range of safety measures. The new law:

Gives regulatory veterinarians authority to order diagnostic tests on horses,
Extends the time for removing horses from the Veterinarian's List,
Creates more veterinary oversight for horses considered to be at risk,
Allows diagnostic imaging to be used for pre-race examinations,
Requires racing associations to provide areas for enhanced veterinary examinations,
Enhances a whistleblower program, and
Provides additional funding for safety.

Some of these statutory reforms codify existing regulations, while others create new statutory authority and requirements.

The CHRB thanks Governor Gavin Newsom and the state legislature, particularly Assembly member Gray and Senator Dodd, for their continued support for and commitment to equine and jockey welfare and safety.
