Other areas of focus included evolving our data and insight capabilities and working closely with industry stakeholders, to ensure any advances or best practice can be shared to benefit the whole sport.
More recent areas of focus include continued investment to provide industry leading facilities, evolving data and analytics capability and communications resources whilst expanding the supporting role we play in the industry’s ongoing advancements and progress in the space of equine welfare.
Here are some of the projects:
- Data and obstacle-level research
- Groundstaff support including specific welfare training as part of ongoing professional development.
- Communications enhancements including the “CARE” content series and Equi-Ed racing staff education partnership.
The Jockey Club Welfare groups have also been central in standalone welfare-related projects, such as the changes to the Randox Grand National following the 2023 running and several racing-related reviews of the Cheltenham Festival.
