About
Equineline is a professional-grade equine data platform operated by The Jockey Club Information Systems, serving as the authoritative resource for thoroughbred and quarter horse pedigree intelligence. The platform aggregates decades of breeding, racing, and bloodline data into a suite of structured reports used across the horse racing industry. Users can access catalogue-style pedigrees, past performance race records, mare produce records, nicking reports, and TrueNicks ratings to evaluate breeding compatibility and horse potential. The interactive nicking feature allows breeders to assess cross patterns between sires and dams before making breeding decisions. Equineline also offers portfolio management tools where farms and trainers can maintain horse lists, track expenses and revenues, manage pedigree binders, and access condition books and entries/results reports. The platform's Sales Catalog App and Pedigree Binder help consignors prepare for auctions and sales. A free tier provides 5-cross pedigrees for both thoroughbreds and quarter horses, auction result searches, racing recaps, and leading breeder standings — making it accessible to casual users while maintaining premium depth for professionals. Dedicated Farm, Trainer, and Owner programs offer tailored experiences for each segment of the industry. Equineline is the go-to tool for anyone involved in thoroughbred or quarter horse breeding, ownership, training, or sales preparation, providing the data infrastructure that underpins informed decision-making across the sport.
