Kildare-based equine company partners with The Saudi Cup 2023

Kildare-based Equine MediRecord will be deploying their revolutionary software platform for all the horses racing in this year’s two-day Saudi Cup event. This will include a new Arabic version of the Equine MediRecord platform to help all the Saudi based trainers and veterinarians more easily use the system to help clear the Saudi based horses through the festival’s equine welfare protocols.

The platform will support the highly prestigious Group 1 Saudi Cup, the world’s most valuable horse race. The Equine MediRecord platform allows for the full veterinary history of the horse to be recorded securely, ensuring the best possible horse welfare as well as aiding with crucial anti-doping procedures. 

Equine MediRecord’s platform has seen extensive international traction after its launch only a number of years ago having already amassed an impressive list of clients and users including the Thoroughbred Owners of California, Maryland 5 Star, Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, the Arabian Racing Organisation, Pegasus World Cup, Preakness Stakes and Breeders’ Cup

World Championships. Last year Equine MediRecord received a multi million dollar investment from Merits Holdings to become part of their Business Infusions group, the largest equine veterinary software group in the world.

Tom Ryan of the Saudi Cup said “We are delighted to be expanding our Equine MediRecord involvement this year to include an Arabic module. The initial use of the system for the 2022 event was an outstanding success, the core fundamentals of the technology are rock solid.”

Pierce Dargan, Chief Executive Officer of Equine MediRecord said “We are thrilled about our partnership with the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia and doing all we can to help again ensure that the best horse welfare and transparency protocols are followed for this year’s Saudi Cup. We are excited to deploy the Arabic version of our Equine MediRecord system with Jockey Club of

Saudi Arabia’s support and hope this will drive adoption of our system by more equine events in the region who want to ensure the best equine welfare and bio-security protocols are being followed at their events.”
