The Jockey Club Information Systems, Arion Strike Data Licensing Agreement

The Jockey Club Information Systems (TJCIS) has entered into an agreement to license North American racing and pedigree data to New Zealand-based Arion Pedigrees, a leading provider of pedigree, racing, and bloodstock information throughout Australia, New Zealand, and other Southern Hemisphere markets. The arrangement is designed to expand the reach of North American Thoroughbred data and create new opportunities for breeders, pedigree professionals, and sales companies abroad.

“Expanding the influence of the North American Thoroughbred around the globe begins with extending the availability of North American breeding and racing data into new markets,” said Matt Iuliano, president of TJC Innovations.

TJCIS officials said they expect the agreement to increase the visibility of North American bloodlines in international markets while fostering the development of new technology-driven data products.

Arion Managing Director Kyla Johnston welcomed the partnership.

“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with The Jockey Club Information Systems and bring North American racing and pedigree information to our customers throughout the Southern Hemisphere,” Johnston said. “We look forward to working closely with the team to expand access to this data.”
