Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 2 hours ago Journalists Posted 2 hours ago The Jockey Club will distribute 100 microchip scanners this week to aftercare organizations to facilitate the identification of Thoroughbreds, TJC announced in a press release Tuesday. Approximately 400 additional scanners will be distributed in the coming months. “We are providing these scanners as a service to the industry to help aftercare organizations and others identify Thoroughbreds and report whereabouts information, which will greatly benefit our traceability efforts,” said Kristin Werner, deputy general counsel and director of Industry Initiatives, The Jockey Club. “These scanners work with the ID My Thoroughbred app, which was released last week through the App store and Google Play.” Stacie Clark Rogers, operations consultant for the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, added, “The ability to identify Thoroughbreds quickly and accurately, especially in sanctuary situations, is vital for aftercare organizations to find the best options for horses in their care. We are grateful for The Jockey Club instituting this initiative.” An online form is available to request a free microchip scanner. Forms must be submitted by Apr. 1.
