01What it does

What The Jockey Club does

Mission

The organization is dedicated to the improvement of thoroughbred breeding and racing. It fulfills that mandate by serving many segments of the industry through its subsidiary companies and by providing support to a wide range of industry initiatives.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The Jockey Club is the breed registry for thoroughbred horses in the united states, canada, and puerto rico. The Jockey Club was formed in 1894 and assumed responsibility for maintaining the american stud book two years later. The stud book ensures the correct pedigree and identification of every thoroughbred and, as such, is essential to the integrity of thoroughbred breeding and racing. North american owners and breeders register approximately 18,000 thoroughbreds annually with The Jockey Club. An increasing number are doing so through the convenience of the internet utilizing The Jockey Club's interactive registration (ir). This is the quickest and easiest way to complete and submit the requirements for registration and naming of foals, including submission of digital photographs. The organization is expected to register 18,000 thoroughbred foals in 2024.

  2. Conferences: since 1953, The Jockey Club has held an annual round table conference on matters pertaining to racing in saratoga springs, ny. The two-hour conference has featured a myriad of important topics and prominent speakers from the united states as well as abroad and more than 300 industry participants now attend. The conference examines initiatives and actions designed to help the thoroughbred industry.

  3. The publication of the fact book, which is a comprehensive statistical and informational guide to the thoroughbred industry.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

How it's funded, over time

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
