A group of nine thoroughbred related technology organisations have come together to form a Thoroughbred Innovation Advisory Board.

TIAB, as it is known, is designed to bring together a cross-section of industry leaders with deep, hands-on experience in technology and innovation across the thoroughbred ecosystem.

The role of the advisory board will be to provide regulators and decision-makers with a sounding board and access to independent expertise in the innovation space, with members representing a daily reach of more than 130,000 owners and breeders.

“Stakeholder support was immediate because it’s clear that new technology frameworks, like the SNS and Stud Book, will determine the scale of future growth,” said Tom Seymour, convenor of the TIAB.

“Without them, delivering the cost savings and efficiencies the industry needs will remain out of reach. We are all committed to sharing our data, IP, networks, and daily reach to help ensure rollouts are modern, scalable, and embraced across the sector,”

The board will have a national focus, while remaining open to supporting state and regional initiatives.

Founding member organisations are Inglis Digital, Ardex, G1 Goldmine/Stallion Match, Prism, Thoroughworks, WrkPlace Digital, Race Day Ready (Data Analytics), Breedr and Arioneo.
