What you can do
Features
For everyone
Things anyone can use, even without an account.
See every race meeting
A list of all the upcoming race days in New Zealand. Tap one to see the races, horses and who's riding.
List or calendar view
See the race days as a simple list, or flip to a calendar to see the whole month and tap any day.
Race cards
For each race day: every race, every horse, the barrier, the weight and the jockey riding them.
Premier days highlighted
Meetings with a Group or Listed (black-type) feature race get a gold highlight so the big days stand out.
Finished races are marked
Once a race has run it gets a line through it and says “Finished”, and the meeting drops off the list afterwards.
Find jockeys, trainers & agents
Searchable directories. Tap anyone to see their page — including an agent's page with the riders they represent.
Free until 1 October 2026
JockeyFinder is free for everyone until then — no credit card needed to join.
For jockeys
Show trainers you're available and ready to ride.
Your profile page
Your name, riding weight, apprentice claim, season stats and the meetings you're attending.
Mark you're attending
Tap “I'm attending” on a meeting so trainers know you'll be there to book.
Riding weight with a safety check
Keep your weight up to date. If you type something that looks like a typo, it asks “is that right?” before saving.
Season stats
Your wins and placings for the season show on your profile, pulled from the official results.
Black book
Keep a private list of horses you like. When one is entered to race soon, it shows up under “racing soon”.
Your agent on your profile
If you have an agent, their name (and phone, if you allow it) shows on your page with a link to them.
Contact privacy
You choose whether your phone shows, and whether your agent's phone shows. Owners never see your personal number.
Pre & post-race voice notes
Record a quick 30-second audio note about how a horse felt — shared only with the people in that ride's chat.
For trainers
Find and book the right rider, fast.
Your stable, loaded for you
We find your horses from the race records so you just tick “mine / not mine” instead of typing them in.
Your runners
All your horses entered to race soon, with the meeting, race and who's riding.
Request a jockey
Send a ride request from a horse or a jockey's page. They're notified by email (and text, if set up) to respond.
Preferred riders shortlist
Pick up to 5 favourite jockeys — they get a gold star and jump to the top of the rider list on every meeting.
S.O.S. ride-vacancy beacon
Got a last-minute gap? One tap alerts every verified jockey marked attending who isn't already booked there.
Gap finder
If a horse your rider was booked on gets scratched, we flag that rider as freed up so you can re-book them.
Stable team
Invite assistant trainers or foremen so your whole operation shares the same ride requests.
For owners & syndicates
Keep your horses — and your fellow owners — in the loop.
Link your horses
We match your horses from the records so you just confirm which ones are yours.
Upcoming runners
See when your horses race next, where, and who the trainer and jockey are.
Run a syndicate
Create an ownership group, add your horses and invite the micro-owners by email.
One update to everyone
Syndicate managers write a single update and it's emailed to every micro-owner at once.
Jockey-booked alerts
The moment a jockey is assigned to your horse, you (and every syndicate member) get an email.
Privacy firewall
Owners don't see a jockey's personal contact details — questions route through the trainer or manager.
For agents
Manage your whole book in one place.
Your jockeys
Add the riders you look after and see them together with their weights and claims.
Your own agent page
A public page listing the jockeys you represent, so trainers can find and message you.
Black book
Track horses for your riders and get a heads-up when they're entered to race.
No double-booking
We stop you accidentally booking two of your own riders on the same horse — while still letting you chase options across different horses.
Messages & alerts
Stay in touch wherever you are.
In-app messages
Chat with trainers, jockeys and agents about gear, transport and race-day plans.
Email when you get a message
Not online? We email you so you don't miss it.
Text-message fallback
When SMS is switched on, a high-priority request you haven't opened in 15 minutes is sent to your phone with a quick link.
Choose your emails
Turn different emails on or off in your profile — new messages, or news and announcements.
Safety & fair play
Behind-the-scenes tools that keep things accurate and above board.
Medical stand-down alerts
If a rider is stood down, only the trainers booked with them in the exact affected race(s) are told — nothing is guessed or auto-published.
Travel feasibility check
If someone marks attendance at two meetings a long way apart on the same day, it's flagged as tight or impossible.
Weight & clash monitor
Unrealistic riding weights or same-day double-ups are flagged for a human to check.
Chat oversight
Admins can review booking chats to step in if anyone tries to deal outside the platform.
Verified accounts
Jockeys, trainers and agents are checked before they appear publicly, and accounts can be paused if needed.
