The American Jockey Club has launched Thoroughbred Regulatory Rulings, a searchable online database of rulings on Thoroughbred trainers from racing regulatory authorities.
“In response to recommendations from the recent McKinsey study, Thoroughbred Regulatory Rulings is one part of a strategic initiative to develop new information resources to assist owners and other decision makers in our industry”, explained James L. Gagliano, president and chief operating officer of The Jockey Club.
“This website was created as a service to the industry to make regulatory information more easily accessible. Over time, we will add more features to this database and eventually migrate it into a new, comprehensive website for owners.”
Alex Waldrop, president and chief executive officer of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, added “Providing access to regulatory rulings is an important part of maintaining the overall integrity of our sport. Our fans and owners have told us repeatedly that they desire greater transparency, and this new website is clearly a step in that direction.”
The design of the Thoroughbred Regulatory Rulings database features extensive sort and advanced-search functions supporting queries of the data, including regulatory authority, date range, trainer name and track/association.
Thoroughbred Regulatory Rulings currently includes approximately 12,000 Thoroughbred trainer rulings from 33 US racing jurisdictions.
