The Jockey Club Tightens Vet’s List Access After InCompass Misuse Review

The Jockey Club has said its review found no unauthorised access to the InCompass Track Manager system after proprietary veterinarians’ list information appeared alongside past performances on X, but it will now tighten access to the data.

The update, issued on Thursday, is a significant integrity development for US racing because vet’s-list data is used by racetracks and regulators in official duties, but is not supposed to become a private edge in the public betting market.

Jockey Club says system breach was not detected

In its latest statement, reported by Thoroughbred Daily News, The Jockey Club said its technology team had reviewed security controls, monitoring, user authentication, content access and HISA API integration.

The organisation said that review identified no security detections or endpoint issues, but confirmed it had held discussions with HISA and industry stakeholders about limiting access to veterinarians’ list information.

The practical consequence is a shift from explaining how the information surfaced to reducing how widely sensitive data can move around the racing ecosystem.

The Jockey Club said some racing officials, regulatory veterinarians and key personnel still require access for welfare and integrity reasons.

For horseplayers, the important line is that fans and bettors expect a level playing field. The Jockey Club says it will work with data providers on what should be made public in a way that balances transparency with the sport’s integrity.
