The Jockey Club is the breed registry for all Thoroughbred horses in North America. As such, it
is responsible for maintaining The American Stud Book, which includes all Thoroughbreds
foaled in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico as well as Thoroughbreds imported into
those countries from nations around the world that maintain similar Thoroughbred registries.
The Jockey Club was formed on February 9, 1894, in New York City by several prominent
Thoroughbred owners and breeders determined to bring a sense of order to the sport.
The organization is dedicated to the improvement of Thoroughbred breeding and racing, and it
fulfills that mandate by serving many segments of the industry through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, strategic partnerships and charitable foundations by providing support to a wide
range of industry initiatives, including several focused on the safety of both horse and rider.
The Jockey Club Technology Services is a technology company formed in 2002 to maximize
the benefits of state-of-the-art communications and data management technology in support of
the continued growth of The Jockey Club and the industry at large.
Equibase Company LLC is a partnership between The Jockey Club and the Thoroughbred
Racing Associations of North America and serves as the Thoroughbred industry's Official
database for racing information. Its website features general information about the sport, a
variety of statistics, a comprehensive menu of free entries, results and race charts as well as
premium handicapping products.
TrackMaster is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equibase and a leading provider of electronic data
to high-end handicappers. It is the only company to provide a complete line of handicapping
products for the three major racing breeds — Thoroughbred, American Quarter Horse and
Standardbred.
Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation is the nation's leading private source of equine
research funding, having individually contributed more than $18.1 million to 40 universities
since 1983 to underwrite 279 specific projects aimed at enhancing the health and safety of
horses.
The Jockey Club Foundation is a charitable trust created to provide financial relief to needy
members of the Thoroughbred industry and their families. Since 1985, the foundation has helped
