One of many traditions in horse racing is its resistance to change. Sometimes, however, change is necessary. For example, when COVID-19 hit in 2020 and racing in many jurisdictions was shut down, the process of taking entries changed when backstretch access was limited and gatherings of people inside of a building (i.e., a racing office) were discouraged or prohibited.
Helping facilitate that change was a digital product known as the Interactive Racing Office (IRO) that had recently been developed by InCompass Solutions, a technology company created by The Jockey Club in 2001.
The Interactive Racing Office helps horsemen and women manage their stables by storing vital health and racing and training information on horses, also permitting them to submit stall applications, stakes nominations, and place entries to the racing office.
Chris Dobbins, senior vice president of InCompass Solutions, joins Ray Paulick and bloodstock editor Joe Nevills on the Friday Show to explain the benefits of this free service, along with another free product, EquiTAPS, designed for veterinarians and trainers to facilitate many of the new requirements to submit treatment records under the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. For more information on both products, visit www.incompass-solutions.com.
