Finlay Dargan

Our Chief Operating Officer, Finlay Dargan, is currently in Melbourne ahead of the ICRAV conference, meeting with Racing Victoria to discuss how our Equine MediRecord system will support this year’s Spring Carnival, including the Melbourne Cup.

Many racegoers attending the Cheltenham Festival this week may not realise the extensive equine welfare protocols in place behind the scenes. One important measure is the requirement for all horses running at Cheltenham to declare their veterinary information through the @EquineMediRec platform. This enables the @BHAHorseracing (BHA) veterinary team to review each horse’s medical records in advance and supports the veterinary team in carrying out their on-site inspections during the festival. At Equine MediRecord, we are proud to play a role in supporting these important equine welfare protocols. #CheltenhamFestival #EquineWelfare

Delighted to be speaking at Equine Summit 2026 at The @CurraghRace on Thursday, 5th March 2026. As Founder & Chief Executive of @EquineMediRec, I’m looking forward to contributing to the conversation around innovation and how technology is strengthening traceability, integrity and international trust in our sector. I was honoured to speak at Ireland’s Equine Welfare Symposium back in 2024 and I’m excited to return this year to provide an update on the work we’ve done since then, including new countries we’ve expanded to and additional features we’ve launched to support equine welfare compliance in the sector globally. The summit will open with remarks from Minister for Agriculture @MartinHeydonFG, @NinaCarberry MEP and Kildare County Council Cathaoirleach Carmel Kelly reinforcing the national importance of Ireland’s equine industry. Looking forward to sharing insights alongside an outstanding line-up of industry leaders and connecting with everyone passionate about the future of the Irish equine sector.
